Hike Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Ok- step 1- I've refashed firmware. Edited the AP connection to wlan0 changing the name and setting the security to WPA2. I can log into the pineapple through kali linux, ssh, or an i"device". Starting infusions and wlan1 & wlan2 (afla 36NHA) goes without a glitch. I leave and come back. step 2- All devices give me "Unable to join the network". Plug in Eth0 and ... Resetting Wireless config works at clearing out vaules in the network infussion but doesn't solve the issue. i"devices" will not show Pineapple5_2965 at all and while kali can connect to the wifi, it is lock out of even reaching the logon for the MK5. Rebooting doesn't help. So I factory reset pineapple via the conifguration infusion. Pineapple bar updates from SD card. Wlan0 is active and reachable. wlan1 is disabled in the network infusion and wlan2 will not enable [usually ??] until I enable wlan1. Change Pineapple5_2965 to HP2965 without any security (ch11). Disconnect the Eth0 and log into the MK5 via another device.. Use WPS or Deauth or Karma (blacklisting my devices after every firmware and or reset).... it doesnt' seem affect the outcome. After aperiod of time and infusion use i'm back to step 1! For the most part I'm sure I'm doing some stupid NOOB thing. Yet, twice I've had infusions up and going only to be followed by "Unalbe to join network" on subsequent checks. I guess something could always go wrong with karma (user input) but why should using reaver on wlan1 cause "lockouts". The MK5 does seem to get very hot. I've also had this series of events happen with and without the alfa 36nha plugged in. Anyway I'm stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for 1.5 to peak my interest again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spazi Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Just wondering. Do you use the original power supply or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hike Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks guys. good question. I normally start with the provided power supply then switch to a pineapple juice or car-adapter. I've just re-flashed and am intent on reproducing this with very detailed notes. ug... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hike Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) The battery is not the problem. I've had the pineapple up and running although the MKV had very limited infusion use. 12hrs via wall and ~6hrs via a battery setup. Multiple log in / outs with an Ipad. Gotta be something I'm doing... Edit!> Enabling wlan1 followed by starting client mode using infusion "Network" seems to be part of the trigger that locks out access to the MV5 via Wlan0. Eth0 will still work. cheers, H Edited August 19, 2014 by Hike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Same issue and I have not found a fix. Still no response from the Pineapples that be on this issue I'm afraid. If I just run it as an AP it works fine. As soon as I do ANY of the infusions that is when it starts getting stupid on me. I can restart the network via eth0 and it will run for about another 20 mins and then it happens again. Seriously needs to be fixed.

pla12 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I was having the same issues, after looking into this further I found that after 20-30 mins my pineapple' storage was full. SSH in from eth0 when the issue occurs and check how much free space you have left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staticbunny Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'm having issues as well. I restored mine to default settings at least 10 times and it usually happens after I make any changes. I don't have any other the other infusions installed only the factory ones such as wifi manager, pineap, etc. I thought it might be that i added my mac addresses to the Karma blacklist but it;s my understanding that Karma should see the blacklist as clients it doesn't want to spoof SSID's to.( if that's the case then the blacklist isn;t working either, because as soon as i enable karma all my SSID's show up even though I blacklisted my laptop) Nothing is set to autorun so anything I've done should be disabled if I power cycle. I do this and notice that the blue light starts flashing, when I try to connect it stops flashing and then stays solid sometimes with an occasional flicker.

WPA3 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) I have the similar issue, if i have been connected to an AP for a few hours or more and it crashes or reboots it never see's that access point again, they just keep disappearing. I know they are there as i can see/use them on my mobile. Edited August 30, 2014 by s3rocool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Same issue here. I seriously doubt its a user issue. Darren can you chime in here. There has to be a reason. Tell me what you need to see and I'll provide whatever stats you need to help us all fix this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJeb Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm pretty stumped with this one too. I've even get this issue from factory fresh flash. I'm really surprised that this issue isn't being addressed. Is it possible that a good handful of us have duds? I can't seem to pin point the issue to a certain device either. Initially thought it was an iPhone thing. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonWolf Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I can add to this aswell. I have been playing with the pineapple a bit now and every now and then it freezes or reboots. I have mainly just used the PineAP and its subfunctions and once in a while urlsnarf. My max runtime is 23H before a hickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris_tusks Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I too am having some issues -- as mentioned above, blacklisting my own MAC addresses doesn't seem to do anything (I still see the karma'ed SSIDs) and after some period of time I can't connect to any of them anymore anyway. I also lose access to the web interface anytime I go into the recon view -- it runs its first 15 second scan and shows me the results, but any subsequent scans appear to start and never finish, taking the web interface down with it. Anyone have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any ideas? Ok, must not be thinking clearly. So, the blacklist keeps Karma from deauthing me and thus karma'ing me, but if it's broadcasting the SSIDs, of course they'll show up. What I need to do is blacklist my own SSIDs as well so that the networks I want to connect to with my blacklisted devices don't get karma'ed and therefore I can continue to connect to them. That still leaves the problem of the web interface hanging after visiting the recon view, and the karma'ed SSIDs not accepting connections. I suspect I should probably run in whitelist mode instead to limit the amount of effort the pineapple has to spend on doing all the ssid broadcasting etc., -- i wonder if it simply can't handle broadcasting 40+ SSIDs, listening for other probes, and still accept connections and keep the web portal running... More testing is in my immediate future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJeb Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Has this issue been addressed yet? I still can't seem to have devices connect over wireless. Tried with a wide range of devices with no luck. The new firmware didn't help either. I've emailed the HakShop twice over the past few weeks about my pineapple being a dud. Please; anyone, Darren, Seb, anyone help me out. I'm in Canada and really want to make another purchase but am hoping to have the pineapple dealt with first in hopes it can all be handled in one order. Thanks guys, I know that you are extremely busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunokhod Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) I think there is still an issue with the current firmware. I posted about my problems last year in this thread :- https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/34070-how-can-i-help-the-mk-v-be-more-reliable/ I flashed my WiFi Pineapple last night with V2.3.0, left it running in my car at work... exactly the same as in the post linked above... and after a handful of hours you cannot connect to either the wlan0 open access point, the management (secured) access point or any of the PineAP created/spoofed SSIDs. You can see all the available SSIDs being broadcast... but you cannot connect to them. I've tried on my Android Phone, an Android tablet, an iPhone and a Windows laptop. A reboot will fix the problem, as will disabling and enabling wlan0 (and then restarting Karma and PineAP).

I am also facing an issue like this, If i leave pineapple running on the original power supply after so long it seem's the pineapple just doesn't respond i can login in to the inferface but the only way to get a connection working is a reboot. I have also noticed that wlan2 keeps randomly disconnecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
