I would probably expect that. As to my first post "Install Openwrt" I did mention I last used this device in hak5 form 2years+ ago. So no point comparing a 2023 Ferrari with a 1980's Ferrari.. pointless. I have it working good on the Openwrt project too. But thanks for trying, and at least your customers will be happy to know this.

Funny, you only mention USB Ethernet! How about basic USB features? This is what my hack is more about. This box thing was a knight mare to use just for quick storage access, and hak5 support was terrible at the time especially from fox... The vanilla project is working how this slow box should. So yes, this was/is a bug/lacked feature of the ...box depending on your view and needs. Its admiral you jump to the pineapple defence!

For those who wish to turn on the USB-A port for Ethernet adaptors, storage etc... here's how. Be warned: This device is wired up a bit funny (still figuring it out) . If I turn on my USB-A my AP (aerial/radio) stops broadcasting. So I'm guessing one of the aerials/radio is wired to the USB-A port or it can just be Openwrt not configure right yet. In terminal: On echo1 > /sys/class/gpio/usb-power/value Off echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/usb-power/value

For those who are stuck like I was and wish to run just Openwrt on their device, ie wipe the device of hak5 here's how to on Linux. Note: The Wi-Fi pineapple just runs on top of the Openwrt framework. It runs a web server (ie the web interface we get), with a bunch of exec('...') commands in php or even python, with a pretty bootstrap layout. If you just install openwrt on the device, you can do all sorts of powerful features eg, evil portals, web servers, MITM, php, airmon etc.. and/or anything that the pineapple currently does today. All in Openwrt and much more, could even write your own web GUI! (which I don't advise). 1) Download the Openwrt upgrade firmware from Firmware page 2) Create a static connection so your pc can connect to the Wifi Pineapple as advised Connecting to the WIFI Pineapple on Linux 3) Turn off all your Wi-Fi connections and Ethernet (I do this to stop any ip confusion within my machine) 4) We now need to put the Wifi Pineapple into recovery mode so.. Connect a USB-C to USB-A lead to the pineapple and your PC, hold the reset button until you get 3 red blinking lights, then release the reset button. The light should stay red. If not, try again. I hold the reset button before I connect the lead. 5) Connect your pc to the Connection you setup in point 2. 6) In browser type 172.16.42.42 if should show Wifi pineapple recovery mode webpage, asking you to upload a new firmware image 7) Browse the firmware you downloaded in point 1, then upload. Let it do its stuff, blue light flashing. 8) When point 7 finished. Delete the connection in step 2 . 9) Disconnect, then reconnect the USB-C lead (power off/on). 10) Your PC should now recognise a Ethernet connection. Do a ifconfig . 11) In browser type 192.168.1.1 12) This is the Openwrt luci page. All done! To install packages on this device the device will need internet connect so.. In a terminal ssh 192.168.1.1 ifconfig wlan0 up This will turn on the "radio" antenna so you can connect to your home Wi-Fi and download packages and firmware as required. Good luck advantageous one...

Hi dark_pyrro, Looong story short, I brought this device a few years back, and was in on dated with bugs, user ability terrible. I took it on a job once and had to just turn it off, with embarrassment. I have now build my own Wi-Fi pen tester using a banana pi, which works as I need it. I hope hak5 have sorted out a lot of these issues I had. I disagree with you, that this is "custom" device. The pineapple is a generic device for the masses. So whilst your pro hak5 pine... Its just not possible to please everyone in this world. I am lucky that I understand tech, so I can/will do as I must. Anyway, I dug it up and was going to throw it away and decided I could use it for my mesh network or as a Wi-Fi repeater. So all is not lost. I think your link will do the job, I just want a clean version of openwrt on the device without hak5 "code" on it. I've used openwrt for years now, so I'll just install luci hopefully I can make some use of this device, if not I'll throw it away with a lesson learnt... If it sounds too good to be true, then..... Thanks for your help dark_pyrro

Hi, I had enough of the system that comes with this device (but like the hardware), so wish to just wipe it and install it with just openwrt. Not the current system openwrt with the flaky web interface. Anyone tried this before?
