I'm having similar issues. We're using a very similar setup, I have BT5 running Jasager on an 0M1 also. I use the jasagerPwn script to do the ICS bit. I am able to get the router setup as an AP with ICS no problem (no sslstrip though). One thing I changed that was hurting was having an eth0 entry in wicd. I deleted any signs of eth0 from wicd as my wlan0 and eth0 were always conflicting when being managed from the same program. I deleted eth0 config from wicd and used "ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.2 up" after every reboot and ran wicd only to connect wlan0 to a wireless network (only since I use WEP and it's a pain to use WEP and iwconfig). I recommend to only use "network managery" type interfaces when ifconfig and iwconfig can't do the same job. I learned that when I start the router (running latest version of Jasager), I ssh into and stop dnsmasq. I then go to Jasager's GUI and turn karma on (I do not add my true AP to the black/whitelist, when I do it never works). If Karma is not enabled on the router, the clients to the AP have no DNS (they can ping 8.8.8.8 fine but they can not ping google.com) But when Karma is enabled, I am able to share internet completely fine. Hope that helped.

Hello all. I was having some problems with SSL Strip 0.8 and Backtrack 5. What I am trying to do is use Jasager on an Open Mesh router configured with ICS and use SSL Strip from there. I am currently using the jasagerPwn script to do this, and the actual internet connection sharing works perfectly. What does not work so well is SSL Strip. As soon as I start SSL Strip the connection lags for a minute or so, then completely dies. Sometimes I am able to get it working for a few minutes, but it almost eventually always dies. This is the error I always receive upon start/termination of the connection: logging.warning("Host resolution error: " + error) exceptions/TypeError: cannot conatenate 'str' and 'instance' objects I noticed that on the latest version of Backtrack 5 SSLStrip 0.8 is installed so I tried to install 0.9. I used apt-get remove sslstrip and ti told me it successfully removed, but it did not. When I downloaded sslstrip 0.9 and tried to run the install.ph script, it tells me "Permission Denied" despite the fact that I am root. I cannot get the install script to run in BT5 no matter how many times I su the session. Considering I switched to BT5 from Ubuntu I'd like to avoid switching OS's and find a solution to the problem. I've found a few topics about this issue across the internet but none seem to offer a solution. Anyone have any ideas?

Use the jasagerPwn script to get it working in Backtrack 5, it's the very first thread in the Jasager forums.

I'm in somewhat the same boat as you. I can get what I need up and running (most of the time) but my actual understanding of what I am doing is quite limited. What helped me to actually be able to complete the projects was learning how to use the command line in Linux and understanding the commands. Go on your Linux box and try to operate only using the command line, if you want to surf the internet, start Firefox from shell, listen to music, etc. After I learned how to navigate my way around in Linux and use only the cli I was able to take the info written for Windows tutorials and translate it to Ubuntu. Theres two things I remember that really help, 1 is patience and don't get discouraged when something doesn't work. As a rule of thumb, expect it to fail the first time around. Secondly is make sure you follow every step exactly as explained - when it comes to most of these projects they are very delicate and there is absolutely no room for error. With that being said I've become a hak5 addict. I bought a pineapple from Darren and can't stop playing with it, when I'm not doing that I'm testing networks in aircrack, and when I'm not doing that I'm learning ophcrack. My technolust has really taken me over. Long live hak5!

1. My open mesh router running Jasager w/ICS does not update itself that I'm aware of. 2. I think it would be possible to edit the .sh file or go into webif and change the SSID to WEP and then enable Karma. Maybe someone else who is more familiar with that could elaborate on that for me. 3. Clients can connected to the router and get internet from the attacker laptop. I think what you want to do with ettercap, there are already several scripts that do this with SSLStrip. During testing last night, I was able to maintain the ICS with great speeds for a while. I've noticed SSLStrip causes some slowness. There are tons of tutorials that should answer all your questions.

Hey guys. I finally got it up and running. I was able to redit the /etc/config/dhcp file to original settings and use the jasagerPwn.sh script on a fresh Backtrack 5 install. I noticed on Ubuntu there was some difficult with communication between the wlan0 and eth0 interfaces. Often times when I would connect eth0 to the router my wlan0 internet connection would hang up, then if I disconnected it it would come back. I think it might also be possible that network-manager was causing some problems. Even after running service stop network-manager and service stop avahi-daemon and killall -9 wpa_supplicant, Network Manager remained active. Then on a BT5 install it worked with little effort. Thanks a lot for all the help in the thread.

Thank you all very much for your replies. After trying several different methods and several different tutorials, I am still having problems pinging wlan0 on the attacker machine from the victim machine. I have also noticed my wlan0 (atheros chipset w/ath9k driver) is starting to hang up a lot. I did a lot of testing of the aircrack-ng suite earlier in the week, and after cracking WEP's the driver will just hang up, it will stay connected to an AP for 5 min or so, then disconnect. Reboot does not solve the problem. I am starting to think this is part of my problem with ICS. This is a little off subject, but the driver will also not switch channels on wifi. I noticed the only way to get it to lock into a channel is to manually change the channel using iwconfig (iwconfig wlan0 channel x) then do airmon-ng start wlan0 x and it will lock into the channel. Judging by the tutorials I read this isn't normal, so I've decided to download BT5 and give everything a shot with a fresh install and try using the jasagerPwn script. Once again huge thanks to those who've helped. Will keep updated with progress.

Not much heavy networking experience Mr. Protocol. I just fired up wireshark to listen on eth0 on the machine running ICS. When the client connects to the router there are several "MDNS" packets highlighted with bright red. I also tried connecting to the internet via a client connected through wifi to the pineapple. When I look for the traffic in Wireshark there is nothing... any ideas?

I am now following the method for the "best how to ICS" which is basically editing the /etc/config/dhcp file and running the pineapple-0.9 script. If I ssh into the pineapple, I am able to ping google's IP successfully. I am also able to ping all other devices on the network. However when I connect to the pineapple via wifi, I am only able to ping the router and the eth0 interface that is connected to the router on the other laptop. I still think my problem lies in bridging eth0 to wlan0 but I don't understand why the pineapple has internet access but doesn't want to give it to client via wifi?

Hello all. I am having a few problems getting internet connection sharing working correctly on my Pineapple (recently flashed :) )and Ubuntu 10.10 machine. I have followed the tutorial written by Dareen in the forum and am using the pineapple-0.9 script. So I complete the setup, and it looks something like this. 10.110.0.1 - Router (Pineapple) 10.110.0.2 - Computer (eth0 connected to Pineapple and wlan0 facing internet) 192.168.1.9 - Client connected to Pineapple 192.168.1.10 - wlan0 facing internet Upon completion, I am able to connect to the Pineapple's wifi network. When I connect though, I am only able to ping the router and eth0 of the connected computer. I am not able to ping wlan0. So I am led to believe there is a problem in the connections being bridged between eth0 and wlan0. Should I be enabling internet connection sharing from the network manager interface on eth0 (or possibly wlan0)? Currently all I am doing is running the script and setting the ip's as instructed. I tried to read the scripts to find out exactly but can't seem to figure it, if some one could give me their 2 cents it would be appreciated. Thanks.

I wish there was some way to test the transmitting power of the built in wifi radios. For example I have an HPdv6200 with an intel 3945abg chipset and I do not expect good connectivity from this radio. However, on my EEE which has an atheros radio I expect decent results. I wish there was some way to measure the distance that these built in wifi radios can transmit at. Does anyone know of any tests I can perform to measure the transmitting power of the wifi cards? Perhaps if I use "Create New Wireless Network" in Ubuntu (makes the wifi card transmit a wireless network) and use another laptop to connect to it, and progressively increase the distance and measure the connectivity? *edit* I am very inexperienced with phones - Does anyone know generally, more or less, the transmit power of the average built in wifi radio in for example an iPhone or an iPad?

Hello all. Some friends and I will soon purchase equipment to service an area of about 1600 feet/.5KM at 90 degrees with a wifi signal, ready to accept connections from laptops, phones, etc. The initial hardware we plan on purchasing is a 90 degree 17dbi sector antenna with a 1 watt transmitter which will be mounted on a roof about 30 feet above ground. The proposed coverage area is an urban setting with buildings from 1-2 stories tall. For bandwidth management we plan on buying a Zyzel router. There will be no repeaters, and the goal is to establish a connection of up to 1600 feet WITH line of sight. Without line of sight and depending on the obstructions, I am hoping to be able to service up to 5 or 6 hundred feet. We are hoping that the standard built in wifi radios most laptops come with will be able to send signals to the antenna from these distances. The wifi antenna vendor claims success at these distances. Does anyone have any experience setting up this type of antenna? Anything I should take into consideration? Did you receive a lot of interference from other 2.4 ghz devices?

After a full night of geeking out I got the problem fixed. For some reason, on my setups (Ubuntu 10.04, EEEPC) there is some kind of error if I try to connect to the pineapple while connected to a wireless network (very worrying since I want to setup ICS). Big thanks to those who offered advice.

I tried the 30/30/30 reset which wasn't successfull. After playing around with it more, I have found that everything seems to work fine except for SSH. I seem to be able to flash it ok (although there were 2 times when "network is unreachable" happened in the middle of a flash). After I flash it I can reboot it and telnet in fine. The problem comes when I try to set a password. I will issue the "passwd" command in the telnet session and change the password and reboot once again. After that I will try to ssh in, and it tells me that every password is wrong. I am however able to connect to the Jasager web interface on port 1471. Could it be a host key or some sort of key issue that is preventing my SSH sessions from working?

Tried several things and having mixed results. I switched to another Ubuntu machine and was able to successfully re-flash the router with "openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma" using "ap51-flash". (Was not able to on EEE). I was then able to telnet in to change the pw. After that I was able to ssh in and install X-WRT and it's dependency (.ipk files) When I unplugged the cable and then switched to using my EEE, the router became erratic. I was able to ssh in one time after that, then I tried to telnet in and the default password wasn't working, then ssh stops responding completely. The router however responded to pings. The karma web interface is still accessible but I can't get to the X-WRT router web int. I'm starting to think my EEE just doesn't like the pineapple.

I was not able to accurately identify the version but the model number is "MR3201A-38NQ". I bought it from Darren at the Hak5 shop several months back. I should say that I was able to successfully flash it once, and if I remember correctly I followed the same steps as I described before so I do believe it to be possible. I have still yet to try to flash it in Windows so I will have to go to an internet cafe tomorrow to give that a shot. Is anyone familiar with any tools I would be able to use to flash it in linux besides the one I am already using (ap51-flash)? Thank you for the advice.

Hello All. I am having problems flashing my Open Mesh router with Jasager and webif. Telnet is refusing the connection, I can SSH in but it is empty, and I can access the web interface but it only says "Permission Denied". I am trying to do this from Ubuntu 10.04 and here are the steps I am following. 1. First I download the following files: openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma 2. I then download the flashing application: wget http://download.berlin.freifunk.net/sven-ola/area51/ap51-flash 3. I then chmod: chmod +x ap51-flash 4. Here is where it gets weird. I have my eth0 interface set to "192.168.1.99". But when I start the flasher by issing "sudo ./ap51-flash eth0 openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma" it displays my IP as "192.168.0.0" and the router IP as "192.168.0.1". This is wrong as that is not my IP nor is that the IP of the router (the router's true IP is 192.168.1.1. 5. After this I am able to SSH in, but I am greeted with an empty prompt. If I issue a "ls" it replies empty. I was able to telnet in one time to install the opkg files (they were copied to /tmp via SCP) and enable wifi but now when I try to telnet in I receive "telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused" Would anyone be able to recommend any solutions or possibly other utilities I can use to flash the open mesh router?
