    Sandisk Cruzer Fit 16gb

    in WiFi Pineapple Mark IV

    Posted

    My Cruzer Fit has been inside the pineapple since I built the first firmware with USB support for it and it still runs just fine.

    For those having this issue, try a different USB stick.

    Oddly enough there is only a very small percentage of people that have reported this, so the issue is hard to track down.

    I'm curious as to what size your Fit is? I"m sure it doesn't matter but maybe there is just a bad batch of the 16gb Fit's. When I talked to SanDisk to get an RMA the guy mentioned they have had "a few" 16gb Fit's exhibit the same issue I had.

    It could be the pineapple hardware, really really bad luck or something else (possible power surges?).

    How are you guys powering the pineapple?

    On the first one I was running it from AC plug out of a APC Smart-UPS 1400 and the second one was from using a fully charged Voltaic V60.

    I don't mean to say it is the users fault at all, I hope that this doesn't come across like that.

    I would just love to know what the issue is and fix it / warn about it.

    Nah, it doesn't come across that way to me...but I really cannot see how I am causing it. I am doing nothing much different than I did with the earlier firmware builds and I had no issue then. The only thing I am really doing different is putting more modules on now since more are available (and no I do not think that has anything to do with it...I am just saying that is really the only thing different I am doing with the new firmware than I did with the old.

    I own 2 of those and haven't experienced any problems. I know a few have been plagued with thumb drive issues more after firmware 2.0.0? I wish someone could shed some light on this. I am curious and don't want my drives to die.

    I should of mentioned that I had NO problems with any of the firmware versions prior to 2.0.0 and I had ran all of them...it was only after flashing to 2.0.0 that I lost both flash drives.

    both have the same setup 2 gig swap, 14 gig/whats leftover for /usb/

    I have installed sslstrip and a few others all is working, however I do flash on a regular basses and have not tested longevity or left on for long periods.

    I had the same setup 2gb swap/14gb...I had sslstrip, nmap, tcpdump, etc. and all worked fine...up till the point the flash drives quit working. Like I said, I can see me possibly getting one bad flash drive but now that it has happened to two of them I think something is going on.

    EDIT:

    one other thing I noticed was after a little usb use on the pineapple the drive is very hot, I can confirm the usb hub in the hakshop will work together with this 16 gig thumb drive, granted I tested with AC wall unit powering the pineapple. I am just thinking some of the heat may be lowered by using a hub?

    I have the usb hub from hakshop but was not using it when the drives died. I just had them plugged straight into the pineapple and the pineapple itself was in a pelican 1060 case. Maybe the flash drives did get too hot but when the last one failed I only had the pineapple on for less than 10 minutes.

    Okay...I don't know WTF is causing this but it has now happened twice. I format a SanDisk Cruzer Fit 16gb as outlined in http://forums.hak5.org/index.php?showtopic=25882 and install all the modules to it. It works fine for a week or so then on boot it is no longer there...I take it out of the pineapple and plug it into one of my linux laptops and it shows up in /dev but it cannot be mounted. Always errors out with an error saying it is read-only (but it still will not mount). First time it happened I chalked it up to being a bad flash drive and SanDisk is even replacing it under warranty. But it just happened to a second SanDisk Cruzer Fit 16gb so WTF is going on??? Anybody else had this happen to them?

    Another thing I noticed in 2.0.0 is having 3G dongle with microSD in it plugged into MK4, my /dev/sda (microSD) dissappears after about 10 minutes while plugged. I can't install any packages through opkg. It says /dev/sda is read-only or something.

    I ran into the same thing. Now my 16gb SanDisk Cruzer Fit says it is read-only...no matter what machine I put it in...and I cannot fdisk it or anything. I used that card under all previous pineapple versions just fine...I thought my card just went bad but now that someone else is having the exact same issue under 2.0.0 it makes me wonder what is going on.

    Default gateway on the mark is not what is supposed to be given out by DHCP

    in WiFi Pineapples Mark I, II, III

    I have dnsmasq setup on the fon to give out IP addresses and also to set the route and default gateway. It gives out IP addresses fine:

    Example from client:

    wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

    inet addr:192.168.1.225 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

    Routing table from the client:

    Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

    192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0

    default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0

    resolv.conf from client:

    domain lan

    search lan

    nameserver 208.67.222.222

    So it is getting an ip and setting the dns just as I want but it is leaving the default gateway to the IP of the fon and not what I have it set to do.

    Here is the configuration for dnsmasq setup on the fon:

    root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# cat dhcp

    config dnsmasq

    option domainneeded 1

    option boguspriv 1

    option filterwin2k '0' #enable for dial on demand

    option localise_queries 1

    option local '/lan/'

    option domain 'lan'

    option expandhosts 1

    option nonegcache 0

    option authoritative 1

    option readethers 1

    option leasefile '/tmp/dhcp.leases'

    option resolvfile '/tmp/resolv.conf.auto'

    config dhcp lan

    option interface lan

    option start 100

    option limit 150

    option leasetime 2h

    option dhcp_option 'lan,3,192.168.1.254'

    option dhcp_option 'lan,6,208.67.222.222'

    config dhcp wan

    option interface wan

    option ignore 1

    Here are the network settings:

    root@OpenWrt:/etc/config# cat network

    # Copyright © 2006 OpenWrt.org

    config interface loopback

    option ifname lo

    option proto static

    option ipaddr 127.0.0.1

    option netmask 255.0.0.0

    config interface lan

    option ifname eth0

    option type bridge

    option proto static

    option ipaddr 192.168.1.1

    option netmask 255.255.255.0

    option dns '208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220'

    option gateway 192.168.1.254

    As you can see in the dhcp configuration I have it set for option dhcp_option 'lan,3,192.168.1.254' so why is it staying as 192.168.1.1 on the clients??? I am sure I am probably overlooking something simple but am brain dead at the moment.

    Possible Portable Power Problems

    Hi there,

    I had the exact same issues, I hooked up a dual USB lead to power the fon.

    The wifi signal increased but it was still unstable and dropped both ethernet and wifi connections.

    Are you sure it is a power issue as I have powered mine from the AC outlet and still encounter drops of wifi connections...mainly my connection to the fon from the mitm laptop. Been pissing me off trying to figure out why that link drops for no apparent reason.

    ok, so i got my batter pack from kb toys in the other day, and it works. it's a 6 volt battery, but the voltage regulator can take it fine. I'm not sure how long it will run for, but once i find out I'll post the info.

    How are you connecting it to the fon? Did you solder a cable onto it terminals cause if so I am wondering how you then can get it to fit into the charger as it is already a tight fit.

    MK1: Downgrading the Fon

    Does anyone know if this is still a 2100 ( https://shop.fon.com/FonShop/shop/US/ShopCo...product=PRD-001 ) and if so does anyone have any idea what firmware they are shipping pre-installed on the units? I want to be sure I can use it or downgrade it. I think the FON in conjunction with a 500ms pen booster will do about everything I need in the smallest possible package.

    I was thinking about buying one direct if I am unable to find anyone to trade for my WRT54GSv1.1

    All 4 of them I recently bought from there were 0.7.1 r1. I bought one...then 2 weeks later another 3.

    That's a "go" preceded by a "no".

    The Alfa card installed without a problem in VMware Server 2.0, but the scheiss Linksys card caused the VM to crash. Maybe when I can get my hands on another, more recent wireless NIC, I'll try again.

    The Alfa card is connected to my access point. If I had another compatible wifi card, I don't see why ICS wouldn't work. But again, I'd need to get something that VMware likes, before I could test.

    Be well

    Thanks for the attempt!

    Just so I don't get any more PMs, I'm sending the pineapple to the first person to message me: Bitstream.

    So just as a fun experiment Bitstream, when you get the pineapple wanna take a picture and we'll compare before and after shipping?

    Pineapple arrived today...notice in the first pic that the stamps didn't get cancelled. The pineapple did suffer some damage as shown in the second pic.

    Both Jasager and webif are password protected. The username is root and the password is whatever your root password is.

    Hmmm, for me, the Jasager page is protected if you go to it on port 1471 but not if you connect straight to port 80...then it will just happily forward you with no authentication required. The webif.html is protected on port 80 though.
