  1. My other laptop a Dell E6410 only cost £110 and has i5 processor running at 2,3 gig with 4gb RAM, I removed the DVD drive and replaced it with a second hard drive so can dual boot to Windows or Kali.

    The main HD on the E6410 (I replaced with a 128gb SSD) slides out of the laptop without any dismantling, (I leave the mounting screw out!!) so a brilliant machine, and if I need to leave anywhere and worried about security I just pull out the HD and put in my pocket.

    For my use and playing around these spec is more than adequate. Both these laptops are about 5-6 years old and build quality is excellent, a great bit of kit when you add a Pineapple.

  2. I got one for £60, with 128gb SSD and it is my carry around dedicated Kali machine.

    As I said main appeal for me is weight only 1kg (I walk about a lot) and 5 hours battery life. I am not doing Pentesting professionally, it's just a carry around ''hacking'' machine and perfect for my use. More than capable of running aircrack-ng and all the related software I need.

     

  3. I've seen a few posts on this but can't find a definitve answer, I use an external wifi card on the Nano to create my AP and everything works fine.

    I understand not being able to use wlan1 as an AP if using Pine but why is it not possible to use wlan0 as the AP and wlan1 for Pine. Clearly I don't understand what wlan0 is used for, can someone enlighten me or refer me to the relevant info.

    Thanks

  4. I am only learning pentesting as a retirement project and decided a dedicated machine running Kali is preferable, much simpler than using VM machines.

    As a ''carry everywhere'' machine I use a Dell Latitude E4200 using a 128gb SSD, it is just over a 1kg and gives me 5 hours use with a new battery, that is using the extended battery, slightly larger than the standard size.

    I also have an old Dell Latitude 6410 (using an i5 processor) for home use which is great as very easy to swap drives to play with different OS's and replaced the DVD drive with a second hard drive so I run Kali and Win10 on seperate drives. If I need a bigger screen then I just plug a monitor into the VGA port of the 6410. Also easy and cheap to upgrade the 6410 RAM from 4gb to 8gb.

    Got both machines cheaply on ebay (UK) but quite adequate for me and great value for my level of use.

  5. The measured DC voltage of the battery doesn't tell the  whole story. What happens when a battery voltage falls is the 'internal resistance' to give it's proper name increases. This means that sudden increases in current drain eg something switching will produce a brief drop in voltage, an inverted spike, which may drop to almost zero, this results in brief erroneous outputs so explaining brief garbled readings. Note in any power supply there are always filter capacitors across the output to reduce this effect.

    Nothing is going to improve a battery too low to function correctly but putting a capacitor of typically 100uF to 470uF across the battery terminals will reduce the effect of glitches/transients happening when the current drain fluctuates. There should also be another capacitor across this (in parallel) of around 100 to 220nf. This may seem pointless as it doesn't affect the total value of capacitance but small caps have a very low inductance so will bypass fast transient current demands far better than the large 100-470uF.

    So it is not the actual DC current drain causing the erroneous outputs but the battery fluctuations caused by the connected equipment taking 'gulps' of current during switiching, especially as the battery voltage falls, as people such as highwire noted this starts happening after a time when the battery voltage begins to drop.

    I hope this makes sense, being an oldie curing erratic and often corrupted data during power fluctuations was a common problem and 'decoupling' capacitors to give them their proper name are always desirable even when using battery power.

    My nano does the same thing. It is running the latest updates. It used to be more random, now pretty much everytime I use Recon it hangs. I tired flashing back to factory image and reupgrading but didn't seem to help.

    I had the same problem, also only occasionally, and a reboot usually solved it so looking forward to a proper fix.

    Hi, I run the EU store.

    Stock issues.....yeah. In short, Irish import has been causing me issues with organising new stock, of both the Pineapples. I am awaiting certain legal stuff before I can. I cannot help that. It's frustrating for all involved, me especially as it's part of my livelyhood.

     

    Once I get this all cleared up (going on nearly a year.....) I will ask that I get a stock of the books in. I don't have an ETA, I wish I did.

    I didn't realise there was an EU store, is it possible to put me on an email list I'm in UK and wonder what import issues you have.

  8. I have asked sales@hak5  about UK availability as the shipping cost to UK is higher than the cost of the book so effectively making it unavailable, I'd be happy to pay a normal standard postage charge but having to pay courier charges for a book is not worth it, I'm still waiting for response to my hak5 query.

  9. I had the same problem after using the Nano for a few days, the wp6 script failed as per your listing

    Default gateway reported as

    but no gateway ip or Internet gateway indicated, so I deleted my wp6.sh script and downloaded a new copy which worked fine, I did have other problems with module install failing which I don't think could be related to wp6, but a new download of wp6 after a factory reset on the Nano and everything is working again.

  10. Many thanks for the suggestions BeNe, the  ssh + opkg.......etc install mdk3 worked but although mdk3 was available in the terminal it still didn't appear in the Pineapple Modules, 

    I have now sorted it and all working fine so here is what I had to do:

    Before I made my first post I had problems and had carried out a hard reset, ie used the reset switch and the only problem was running wp6.sh gave me errors, not recognising the correct interface ids so I downloaded another copy and this worked OK.
    But it was after that I couldn't install modules and also after running for a time PineAP began to give problems, wouldn't switch off and some options not available.

    So after trying your suggestions I did a soft factory reset using Pineapple menu, ran a new copy of wp6.sh and everything seems fine, I've just installed a couple of modules and dependencies without a problem.

    I do not see how a corrupted wp6.sh could have caused this or maybe the hard reset didn't work properly, (but I did have to setup from scratch after the first reset) but in summary my second factory reset has solved the problem.

    However, I really appreciate your suggestions as that has improved my knowledge further and given me something else to play with.
    thanks and regards

    so dermitname, may be you should also try a factory reset

  11. I also find it impossible to install any modules into the Nano, which I have had for 4 days now, download is fine but all attempts to install the dependencies starts to do the install then fails with 'not installed' I have no such problem with my MK5 which I have used for 2 years so is there a problem with the Nano!!!!! we are not being told about?? I have tried to install Deauth, Dwall, Occupineapple, SSLstrip and nmap, none of them install dependencies, no other problems with the Nano. Pre installed, ie PineAP works fine.

    I have also tried these installs to internal storage and the SD card, so if anyone can suggest how to install modules in the Nano it woul be appreciated.

    Thanks

  12. I've been testing the Nano since mine arrived a couple of days ago and very impressed as not getting the problem I've always had with my MK5 Pineapple.

    I'm running Kali 2.

    Running same laptop, same clients etc etc my Mark 5 clients will often lose wifi connectivity, even though they are still shown in the clients list and laptop is connected to wifi. ( I am talking about wifi connected via laptop after running wp5/wp6 ) sometimes I need to restart Wlan0 in the PIneapple to reconnect my clients, but occasionally have to reboot the laptop, making it impossible to leave laptop unattended while testing.
    I would be interested to know if anyone else has this problem with the MK5 PIneapple, and has a solution, but so far am very impressed with the Nano, so much easier to use, and no client disconnections so far.

    After having played with my new Nano for some days, it seems to be working - at least to start with - and at least without having started any modules.

    But after a while (say one hour) it looses connectivity.

    The registered "clients" then have no WiFi connectivity. I.e. they are no longer connected through the WiFi Pineapple.

    If I then connect a new Client to the WiFi Pineapple, it is detected and listed as a new "client", but it does not have any WiFi connectivity.

    The Android App also seem to be an a Beta stage (?)

    As to modules - I have posted some comments on some of them - NONE of them seem to be working properly. :-(

    Interesting as I've always had that problem with my Pineapple 5 but having only had my Nano for a couple of days that hasn't been a problem, so far.

  14. I recommend you look on ebay and get a mobile phone/Tablet repair kit, very cheap and they  contain a good selection of plastic opening tools, ideal for opening the clipped cases of Tablets/phones and Pineapples, most also contain a small set of security slot screwdrivers, an essential bit of kit these days to open such cases without damage.

  15. I also not having a good time with my MK V, went through procedure as per instructions, struggled to login to 172.16 etc but finally did. also then could not detect Pineapple and have flashing led sequence red/blue amber about twice a second, and the dip switch reset makes no difference. Not been able to log back into web interface, been trying for several hours, just get timeout or not able to connect.

  16. I just had MKV delivered to the UK by UPS and was charged a total of £25.77p being vat and UPS ''admin'' but still not sure if I'm going to get a bill for duties!! That was for Pineapple, rubber ducky and travel kit, not just the Pineapple
