Setting up a 3G or 4G modem

We can use 3G or 4G USB modem cards with Kali Linux and connect to our Raspberry Pi 3 over mobile wireless networks for stealthy remote access. Each card is manufactured a little differently, and therefore the setup may vary based on the type of cellular card, region of operation, and service provider. There is plenty of information on legitimate connectivity uses available online, but we have had good luck with USB-enabled modems, such as the various MiFi devices available. Bluetooth bridging to a cellular phone hotspot did not work on our end, but that is something several groups are working on diligently, so we would expect that to change soon.
