It's not called Hackers Freedom Downtime (I tried to correct the OP on that, hehe), it's called Freedom Downtime and you can get it from the producer, Eric (Emmanuel Goldstein) who is also the editor of 2600 and a talk show host. But the sad truth is you really need to see Take Down before you see Freedom Downtime to understand the context. http://www.freedomdowntime.com It can also be found to download for free of course, but if you do that get the 2004 not the 2003 version. The 2003 was a leak and the movie changed a lot, including adding a seminal Mitnick interview.

Darren Kitchen, what does the developer say about his power level? :o OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~ figured it out

I will let you know for sure. I've been working on this (the Pineapple in general) for the better part of 4 days at the expense of my real job, so I am ready for this darn thing to start working. I have been working on another aspect most of today though, which I am about to post a thread about. However, after posting that thread and eating some food I will be back to working on the MC760. I'm very glad someone else online right now has this as well. The Wiki implied (strongly) that these were tested and working out of the box, so hopefully it should work. Right now my pineapple's SSID isn't showing up although Karma is running, which means that I'm not even 100% sure how to test if it's working (well I have an idea but it still involves the cat 5 cable being plugged in, which could give a false). On that note if anyone has any idea about my mysteriously invisible SSID please let me know. Anyway, hopefully Darren, Seb, DigiNinja or whoever tested the 2 MC760's will come on the forums and lend us a hand.

Is it like the Cesidian Root?

I think you need to come up with an original drink or beer, like Monsieur Protocol suggested about a Jasager-specific one. 2600 has their own official hacker beverage -- the stimulant laden Club Mate. It tastes awful, but I'm a fan so I still buy it. You should have a good drink for us adults and a kiddie non-alcoholic drink for the kids who watch.

hmm idk but i have to tell you Sebkinne: I made the OpenWRT drink last night and it was AWESOME. i did double the amount of Peach Schnapps though. I'm not knowledgable enough to invent a drink, but much like with the Jasager -- if you invent it I will test it for you at my own expense :) oh and when i was at the package store yesterday i noticed they do have "Pineapple Vodka"...

You do need special software to run it on a computer and that software is built onto the device itself in .exe and .dmg forms (no Linux). I was hoping that this software was not needed with the Pineapple because they don't support linux according to their website yet it is listed here: https://github.com/sebkinne/wifipineapple/wiki/3G-Modem

woogie boogie

oh yea that was a good one (sneakers). OH and how the heck did we forget TRON?? Here are links for mine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_with_the_Dragon_Tattoo_(2009_film) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisbeth_Salander#The_Girl_Who_Played_With_Fire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisbeth_Salander#The_Girl_Who_Kicked_the_Hornets.27_Nest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_with_the_Dragon_Tattoo_(2011_film) The Matrix: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/ ... there's also all the animated spin offs but let's ignore that War Games: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086567/ Old Tron: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084827/ New Tron: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1104001/

I'm not trying to be negative, but most of those were pretty terrible IMHO... it's just something about hacking and hollywood that hasn't traditionally interacted too well or something. Freedom Downtime is an exception (btw I think you meant 2600's Freedom Downtime, produced by Emmanuel Goldstein / Eric Corely). That film really requires you to see "Take Down" aka "Track Down" first and I do recommend it, even tho it portray's Kevin The Man Mitnick in a bad light and has a zillion problems with it. Asides from those, let's not forget The Matrix I-III The Millennium Series, good/original version I-III (Men Who Hate Women / The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) The American version of The Millennium Series and my personal favorite, Pirates of Silicon Valley. Also, you could count that FB movie about Zuckerberg, but he was never really a hacker. .... and you did mention War Games already... right?

oh. well now i wish i hadn't got excited and bought the ingredients. i'll just drink the peach schnapps.

OK thanks PeterTFM. So I should type something like tail -10000 /www/pineapple/logs/something In the past hour I did see some stuff show up in my Karma log (despite my changed MAC), including 2 SSID's I was not familiar with, which I take it are the SSID which Karma pretended to be. Now, if I make changes to the Pineapple, such as if I tell it to autostart Karma, those changes should persist even after a power off, right? I have noticed that to be the case with my new root password, I'm just double checking.

Oh, I see. So it will have 2 radios then and thus it won't be slow? I think earlier I was asking about how to make this 3G USB modem work but I asked in a confusing way and you (or someone) gave me an answer saying that it would be really slow or impossible because there would only be one radio being using ro access an AP and to act as an AP for victims clients. But so, theoretically, I should be able to plug in my VirginMobileUSA/Novatel MC760 in the Pineapple USB port and it should know to use that as its Internet connection and everything should be groovy? I changed the SSID using the text box on the web interface (Configurations tab).

P.S. I changed the SSID through the web interface and now I don't see any pineapple-related SSID show up at all. That's perfectly fine by me, but I wonder what's going on? Did I change some other setting without realizing it? Sorry to be such a klutz. My speciality is pretty far different from this (statical algorithms and such) so I'm just trying to Forrest Gump my way through my fantasy job as a part time pen tester. It's kind of like being an amateur magician and this is the magic shop / club :)

Yes, precisely. A puck is a good analogy. No LAN port, unfortunately. Here it is is 3D: http://www.verizonwireless.com/verizon-wireless-4g-lte-mobile-hotspot-mifi-4510l.shtml I really want to avoid this. The reason I want to avoid it is so that I can leave the pineapple at the pen test client's business (in this case a restaurant) without having to be there or to look really suspicious with my laptop connected to this strange device with its antenna and blinking blue lights. Also, if I do have to have a laptop anyway, then it's probably more discreet (and easier, due to the PoE not working for me) to use an Alfa + Wireshark... but I wanted to play with this new toy and see what it can do that couldn't be done without it. However, what you're saying here does concern me greatly: Oh, no! So, what's all the talk about these 3G devices and why are they supported out of the box according to the Wiki? I'm so confused. I thought this was kinda the central idea behind the pineapple -- it's got the WPS button and unlike an Alfa adapter it can (I thought) operate autonomously to capture packets. Oy vey. 2 of the 3 3G modems that are said to be supported out of the box are the same model as mine (MC-760)...surely someone has been experimenting with it? I mentioned this in another thread, but I also social engineered a login from the place that I'm pen testing (don't worry, the owner is my son and my name is on the business license of this place). It's WPA2 with a username & pw login. I think either Senor Protocol or PeterFM told me that it's unfortunately not possible to make the Pineapple connect to a WiFi AP like that (right)? I guess it would have the same problem. So no one has ever got this thing to run without a laptop? If it's possible to give it a try, even if it's slow, I'd love to try it. I've got the MK4, supported 3G modem with data, and a compatible fully charged battery and I'm within 10 minutes of the restaurant that's my target. If anyone has any ideas how to try it just let me know what to do and I'll tell you the results. Feel free to consider yourself at the controls of a remote desktop session with my brain LOL :)

I like big butts and I cannot lie...

Yea I know what you mean, I said the exact same thing (iPod touch v. iPhone) for years until I finally gave in. But no, the MiFi is what they call their mobile WiFi. So it's 3G/4G technology but once the data is received it's broadcasted as WiFi. There's no USB connection except for upgrading software. However I went out and got the Virgin Mobile MC760 bc it's supported out of the box (or technically, I found an old one and just bought some data for it). The software doesn't run on my copy of OS X Mountain Lion but I'm not sure if that matters? How do you normally use it with the Pineapple?

Someone mentioned MiFi --> is it possible to use that instead of a USB modem? If so, how?

if a girl farts does that make her less sexy?
