chriswhat Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Does anyone have a reliable method for acquiring a remote Pineapple's GPS coordinates? When the Pineapple is tethered to a 3g/4g modem, not a GPS-enabled phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 USB GPS would do the trick. Just be careful how you track your pineapple as depending where you put it, may become illegal VERY quickly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I couldn't get my usb gps to work with the pineapple. It's a standard pl-2302 to serial to usb gps. Seems gpsd on the pineapple doesn't have support for the adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebkinne Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Alright, here it is. I attached the kmod you need to install. Simply SCP it to your /tmp/ folder on the WiFi Pineapple MKV and execute the following over SSH: opkg install /tmp/kmod-usb-serial-pl2303_3.3.8-1_ar71xx.ipk Have fun!

bedpan Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Hey, I'm trying to get my GPS going with Kismet too. I can't seem to get gpsd to work though. Did you have to do anything special, or launch it with any specific hooks? The same gps works on my laptop running Kali, so I don't know what I'm missing. It seems to have installed right, but I can't get anything out of it: root@Pineapple:~# dmesg |grep 2303 [ 36.390000] USB Serial support registered for pl2303 [ 36.390000] pl2303 1-1.2:1.0: pl2303 converter detected [ 36.400000] usb 1-1.2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [ 36.400000] usbcore: registered new interface driver pl2303 [ 36.410000] pl2303: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver Also, if you want your Kismet to do channel hopping, you have to put your device into monitor mode yourself for it to work: ifconfig wlan1 down iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor kismet_drone ...Kinda working. gpsd -b /dev/ttyUSB0 Edited November 23, 2013 by bedpan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pos in my opinion. Kismet newcore can talk directly to gps devices. Edit your /etc/kismet/kismet.conf I also had to move the kismet binaries to their local positions instead of having them installed on the sd card. Kismet complains about too many links if you try to just link to the sd card. gps=true # Do we use a locally serial attached GPS, or use a gpsd server? # (Pick only one) # gpstype=gpsd gpstype=serial # What serial device do we look for the GPS on? gpsdevice=/dev/ttyUSB0 # Host:port that GPSD is running on. This can be localhost OR remote! # gpshost=localhost:2947 # Do we lock the mode? This overrides coordinates of lock "0", which will # generate some bad information until you get a GPS lock, but it will # fix problems with GPS units with broken NMEA that report lock 0 gpsmodelock=false # Do we try to reconnect if we lose our link to the GPS, or do we just # let it die and be disabled? gpsreconnect=true Edited November 23, 2013 by barry99705 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedpan Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 What kind of GPS do you guys have? My Kismet didn't see mine without gpsd. I have an older Holux GR-213. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caecilius Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 BU-353 GPS works perfectly with one once I modified the kismet.conf file. No need for gpsd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeNe Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 You mean this GPS Receiver? http://www.amazon.com/GlobalSat-BU-353-USB-GPS-Receiver/dp/B000PKX2KA This is perfect. Main power input: 4.5V ~ 6.5V DC input Power consumption: 80mA How does your kismet.conf looks like ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
