You read this blog regularly, you will know that I have been using so many Raspberry Pis for different purposes. I have one for home automation which is placed in hall, which sometimes I will be using as a server, one for my robots, and two Pi Zero Ws in my garage and front door for live surveillance. All are connected to my WiFi network and have SSH enabled for remote access.[AdSense-C] Once in a while we will have to SSH to each of them to perform some common tasks such as update, upgrade etc. Some days ago, I stumbled upon an article, where this guy built a Portable Hacking Station using Raspberry Pi, where he used an adnroid App named Juice SSH to control a Kali Linux installed Raspberry Pi.

Juice SSH and Cluster Snippets

Juice SSH is an all in one terminal client for Android mobile phones which includes SSH, Local Shell, Mosh and Telnet support. I installed it in my phone and it was quite useful and handy. The app is really user friendly; create a user profile, add a device, add the user to the device and connect. Then I went through the list of plugins and noticed something called Cluster Snippets. The plugin helps us to execute codes on multiple devices in one go. You can add the code snippet, select all the devices you want the snippet to run, Simply select the snippet you’d like to execute, the connections you’d like to execute it on, and then use tap the run button to execute it.
