In the latest Hak5 episode Darren was editing an ssh config file which allowed him to filter what users could log in as well as set ssh to only authenticate with an rsa key and disallow password authentication. There were numerous other tweaks he applied as well such as only allowing ssh2 and listening to a specific IP address for connections. I would like to implement a new user with sudo privileges and have ssh block logging in as root directly and set it to use an rsa key and disallow passwords. The more I read the more it seems that I may have to go the latter route and install openssh in place of dropbear to accomplish this.

After watching the latest episode of hak5 on SSH I wanted to configure the ssh on my wifi pineapple, however it uses dropbear for ssh and as far as i can tell there is not a config file for it? Is there any way to make a configuration file for ssh run by dropbear or would I need to need to install openssh and remove dropbear to have these extra options? Thanks for any responses.

I was curious how the rootfs file was being made as I would like to roll my own heavily modified version of the wifi pineapple that way even when doing a reset it will go back to my pre-made setup. I was ale to re-build the filesystem and then compress it as squashfs with lzma, however when I attempt to use this file to flash my pineapple router it seems to make it unusable, it starts up but will never issue an ip or even allow me to connect when I set one manually. I was curious if perhaps this could be a file permissions issue? i noticed after extracting the base file system most of the permissions changed when I re-packed the modded files. I did test this by extracting the base files and then just trying to re-pack them without making any changes to see if it could have been a modification I was making, but even without making changes it does not function correctly. Any tips on this, or just a point in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks. -CodiahW

Ok so a fresh download on another computer and a re-flash has solved the issue, now to get back to work on redesigning m web interface.

I will give that another try, this time with another computer just to cover all my bases and get back to you on that...

I recently updated my pineapple to Mk3 firmware, the latest available download seems to be missing something critical to have karma function correctly. I noticed that no devices were interconnecting to the router so I ran the cat command on the karma related files and discovered that in the startkarma.sh script it contains the following. wifiLedOn hostapd_cli -p /var/run/hostapd-phy0 karma_enable and if you check in /var/run/, there is not a hostapd-phy0, or anything that looks like it would do the trick of enabling karma. Does anyone have any incite on this for me? I'd love to have Karma working correctly again. Thanks, -CodiahW

Thanks for the fast response Seb, and as for it not working correctly I suppose that will give me something to do with my upcoming day off. -CodiahW

I'd like to request the "reaver_1.4-1_atheros.ipk" as the link that was previously floating around the forum is dead. So if you could be so kind to put it back up for a short time, it would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. -CodiahW EDIT: I should mention I'm currently using the Mark 3 With the newest firmware.
