    Just ordered the Mark V

    in WiFi Pineapple Mark V

    Posted

    I'm curious about that "crazy battery life", 64 hours of battery or am i wrong? We need more details!

    :)

    Well, I'm going off of what Darren indicated on the release live stream, where he and Seb (if I wasn't too wasted...doing shots of Woodford Reserve for "wifi" and "pineapple"...glad he switched to coconut!!) indicated that the battery in the elite bundle was easily 72 hours of straight running, all the while broadcasting and processing.

    I believe the battery in the bag version is like 24-36 hours, and the elite pelican one was crazy long...like over 72 hours...perfect for lengthy "drop and return" deployments.

    Extremely stoked to get my gear this week!!! Taking a long weekend to get intimate with my new pineapple gear! :) :) :)

    I ordered mine as well. Had to get the elite, don't know why. I think the soft bag is better, way less suspicious then walking around with a big pelican case with an antenna on it... :ph34r:

    Fell into the same dilemma, ended up getting one of each. Liked the idea of a deployable, mostly environment proof box with crazy battery life, but didn't want to always have to haul that pelican around for a quick light task.

    Also love that the MKV graphic patch is attached with Velcro.

    <emt>Fuckin smart.</emt>

    It's evident how much thought went into this revision of our favorite fruit across the board. It's been great watching the pineapple evolve.

    I'm thinking of building a deck out back using nothing but my earlier pineapples. ;)

    New Wifi Pineapple (Mark V)?

    iirc, they gave steep discounts to the people who ordered the mk3 at full price within a certain period of time before the mk4 release. Maybe they will do something like that again.

    FYI: They didn't offer discounts, but they did give us first crack at purchasing the new MKIV.

    That said, it'd be AWESOME (Darren, looking in your direction sir!) if they allowed us to pre-order these new MKV's!

    DO WANT TWO EM KAY FIVES...NNNAAAAOOOO!! ;)

    I suuuuuure hope they have bunch in stock!

    Wifi Pineapple ? Reaver ?

    200$ ??!!!!

    Yeah, that's when I deleted the email. I've been on the mailing list since the released their first Reaver Pro hardware device,and I even bought one of their USB/Alfa kits because I'm all for supporting the community financially (HakShop knows! :)), but that price is absurd and just flat out gouging given the hardware is now, what, ~$30 retail?

    They lost my interest in one single email.

    Pineapple is making my drives permanently read-only!

    SanDisk sadly has this issue with a few of their drives. It's 99% not actually the pineapple but the drive..

    Best regards,

    Well...."a few" is subjective. I have an actual handful of dead SanDisk 4/8/16gb Cruzer Fit drives. Not worth the time or effort to send them back, I'd purchased them at various times around the MKIII release....they've all died the same R/O death.

    I would rework that comment to more accurately say that "SanDisk has no issues with a very few of their Cruzer Fit drives."...but that's just my cynical, I'm-out-about-$100-worth-of-dead-SanDisk-drives side coming out. :)

    battery pack issue

    in WiFi Pineapple Mark IV

    Posted

    The Anker 3 (NOT the 3E) is what I believe fox was indicating. The 3E was a 10000mAh, but only had dual .5V outputs, no adjustable voltage.

    Anker appears to have rebranded their "3" as the "Anker Pro" now. Amazon has it, and it's all the same specs as the "3" used to be.

    Here's a link:

    http://www.amazon.com/10000mAh-Multi-Voltage-Portable-Camcoders-Recorders/dp/B005NGKR54

    I can tell you first hand that these ARE the one you want. I've purchased 3 of 'em now, they work amazing with the MIV. The 9/12v cable that comes with the battery doesn't even need any of the attachment ends...connect one to the battery, one to the fruit, select 9v (or 12v), and you're up and running, complete with usb drive, hub, and external Alfa...for a very long time.

    A couple words of wisdom for OP and crepsidio from a regular guy:

    - This is a project, not a commercial venture, and it's a project that some people hold very dear. Nobody at Hak5 intended to defraud anyone or sell a bad product, or even make a profit (in the commercial sense) for that matter. Darren and crew have done a fine job of trying to provide hardware to the masses for this project, with the intent of helping to fund other awesome projects that have or are coming down the pike. Nobody's at the HakShop is sending their kid to college on what they're making over there.

    - We are fortunate enough to have some amazing talent in this community who devote their skills, time, and energy into sharing and collaborating on this project. You too can be a part of the community, which is really what this is all about anyhow.

    - This isn't a polished, finished product by any means. It's an evolving project, and I believe the Mark V has already begun to emerge in the "back room" where the core Einsteins collaborate on these things.

    So, I get that you may not have understood some of those items, but seriously, the snarky comments and negative energy about being "abandoned" and how the documentation isn't clear enough for you are just bad juju. Many of us have seen Darren himself get involved with many of the few snafu's (SanDisk drive, a failed mobo, etc) and takes customer satisfaction extremely seriously, waaaay beyond what I would expect anyone to do. Seriously, the guy posted his damned CELL number at one point. Incredible and a heart of gold.

    I'm sure if you are unhappy, Darren would move heaven and Earth to make sure you were a happy camper in the end. Maybe write him directly ?

    As far as "problems" go, and "complete" instructions, etc, again, this isn't an "on the shelf" Wal-mart product. It's a community project that we're all fortunate enough to be a part of and to benefit from. Instead of complaining, take some initiative and search the forums for an answer. if you can't find the answer, there are an enormous number of very smart, kind, and helpful people here who would be more than happy to assist.

    If you're really interested in getting things resolved, let's leave the negative somewhere else and just get on with it. Ask your specific question, and people around here are more than happy to help.

    This is Hak5.

    This is Sparta!!!!!!! :)

    Code 2600 New Hacker Documentary 8.6/10

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    Alright, well, I haven't viewed the extras, just the main movie.

    I have to say (and I'm about to reveal my age, to an extent here), that aside from some nostalgic bits of footage in the first 45 minutes or so, this was pretty run of the mill stuff and was incredibly far from a "hacker" documentary. At about the 50 minute mark it gets into "present day", and that's fine, not all of us ran BBSs and had hacked telnet accounts at the local university before "The Internet' was available outside that environment (but I can tell you from experience it was a very fun time, and this movie covers the spirit of that era pretty well and gives the viewer a good feeling for what it was really like back then.). But a "hacker documentary"? Not even close.

    Honestly, most of this stuff is common knowledge...REAL common knowledge. I didn't expect it to be a "how to", but as a documentary it's pretty "meh" at best. Maybe the "deleted scenes and extras" have some more interesting insights, The most interesting thing was running Metasploit on an iPhone, and that wasn't even really interesting considering most of us have at least heard of, if not own, a PwniePhone or similar product(s)

    For the n00b, or those who didn't live it "back then", it's good data and always good for people to learn how we got here. But for most of us here on Hak5, this stuff has been done to death in plenty of other documentaries, and anything relevant has been in the MSM already (as evidenced by much of the content being actual broadcast news clips with Tom Brokaw, Shepard Smith, etc).

    I'd give this a 5 out of 10, and it gets most of the 5 because of the nostalgic footage and history leading up to "present day".

    My recommendation is to wait for it to come out on Netflix, etc.

    Hak5 fans!
