Ouch! rp-sma antennas without an adapter is bad. Glad you were able to sort out at least one of your problems. If you're interested we've used a program called Team Viewer to have a sort of get together. We talked about a few issues and some setup stuff for infusions. When we do it again you might want to join in. Last time was a Saturday evening but I can do short ones most evenings if people are interested. Not that I'm an expert on any of this... Just a good way to share and ask questions.

That is not what I am saying.... In the past there was a bug in the enryption identification logic for Client Mode that created incorrect settings in the /etc/config/wireless file. He says he's using 1.0.4 so all of that should be fixed, but there are other encryption options such as WPA2 Enterprise that may be an issue. I'm at work and can't get to the openwrt website that lists the supported modes. So I was suggesting for first contact using Client Mode he either uses another router that has an Open network or he changes his home network to Open (temporarily) to do updates. I reccomend installing the WiFi Manager Infusion so that you can have more control over what modes/settings are used for Client Mode on wlan1. The Client Mode tab is more automatic than anything and when it works it works well. But I like to have more control where possible especially when there is a problem.

You might try: ifconfig iwconfig wpa_cli http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/clientmode

Maybe the type of encryption your home AP is using? Try turning the security off and see if Client Mode stays connected. Or you could just try to connect to another Open Access Point, get the updates/infusions you need and then try your home AP again.

On the Pineapple are you turning Karma on? And when you talk about three outward facing names, you're talking about different WiFi AP names that your Windows Machine creates, right? I guess I just assumed that Theodore was the name of your home Access Point when I suggested connecting to it. But if you have Karma turned on it might be seeing the probe requests from your laptop and it's creating the other "fake" APs and so it you are using Client mode to connect to one of those Karma created AP names you may just be in one big loop. Also, your windows machine, is it a VM?

Why would the name of your home Wireless Access Point change? That doesn't make sense. You might want to SSH in and take a look at your /etc/config/wireless file. See how many devices and networks are in there.

Did you happen to reboot after the updates/installs? Your wlan0 and wlan1 may have swapped. It's a common problem.

You obviously don't understand what I'm saying if you have the Pineapple's Client Mode turned on and you are also using the Windows ICS configuration shown above. It isn't that the other way you are attempting won't work... It's just that obviously something has gone wrong. If you absolutely need this wired connection/ICS configuration for what you want to do with the Pineapple then by all means keep troubleshooting until you get it correct. But, you could try the other (non-wired) method if you just want to get some updates/infusions for your pineapple. You can turn off all that ICS in Windows stuff and unplug the ethernet cable, then connect your windows machine via WiFi to Pineapple5_1901. That is wlan0 of the Pineapple. You don't need to set a static IP address or anything it serves you an address in the 172.16.42.X range via DHCP... Once your computer is on wlan0 and has that IP address, go to 172.16.42.1:1471 and log in to the Pineapple. Go to the Network Tile and go to the Client Mode Tab. In Client Mode tab have it connect to your Theodore access Point so that it will then provide that internet to the wlan0 side. It does this automatically via a bridge called br-lan. This is the most basic configuration of the Mark 5. Home AP---(wlan1)Pineapple Client Mode---br-lan(bridge)---(wlan0)Pineapples AccessPoint----Windows Machine Via this method your Pineapple will get internet from your Home Access Point and be able to update the Pineapple Bar, you will also be able to surf the net via your Windows Machine.

Honestly, Foxtrot is half correct. It really depends on your configuration when you are talking about tcpdump. If you want to catch all traffic on your pineapple you use br-lan. If you want to try to dump all avaiable traffic on the AP you're wlan1 is connected to (Client Mode) you could use wlan1.

It collects handshakes so yes it would need a dictionary file. Probably best to use a small common passphrase dictionary file on the pineapple and then offload the handshake to a desktop/laptop when/if that doesn't work. This does not appear to be a WPS cracking tool like reaver or bully.

I still don't understand why you are using the script or trying to do ICS this way... It's much simpler to use the Client Mode connection with your wlan1 antenna and not use an eth0 connection or the script. At least it is to begin with so that you can get updates and infusions from the Pineapple Bar. Once you've done that (and know the new method of Connecting your Laptop/Tablet to wlan0 and going to the Pineapple Management Page to setup in the Client Mode tab your wlan1 to provide internet to the Pineapple and wlan0 connected devices) you can then attempt to play around with the hard wired ICS/script method. Crawl, Walk, Run approach to learning the Mark 5... Just my 2 cents.

1. wlan0 is used for the creation of a real AP also it is used for Karma aka "fake" APs. wlan1 is used for client mode or jamming/deauthing and cannot be an AP. At least not at this time... 2. In the Karma tab you are simply setting the name of the real Access Point that wlan0 uses. Yes you can set this without turing on Karma. i.e. Karma is only good in certain instnances so you can set it to Free WiFi and essentially go "fishing" i.e. just wait for people to connect rather than trick/force them to connect via Karma. 3. wlan0 Try watching the Pineapple University videos...

For the first part I'm just guessing but it might have to do with the use of br-lan and how they are connected. For the second the WiFi Manger infusion works that way on purpose. It does not execute the changes until you save and commit but that seems to be a feature and not a flaw. :)

No problem... I actually typed it that way on purpose because that is the new way of doing things with the Mark 5. And since you asked... You can actually do it the other way. Once the wlan1 is connected via Client Mode to your home AP you can connect your laptop/tablet to the same home AP and get to the Pineapple's management page but it won't be the standard 172.16.42.1:1471. You'll need to know the IP address that your home AP assigns to wlan1, you'll be able to use that IPAddress:1471 to get to the management page. That leaves wlan0 for other uses... It's not the standard way of doing things but it is a possible configuration.

Do you mean that you connected via a laptop/tablet to the Pineapples wlan0 Access Point called Pineapple_XXXX (X's being the last 4 of your MAC address) and you set up in the Client Mode Tab so that wlan1 antenna is accessing your home wireless access point? Or do you mean you plugged the eth0 port into your home router and want to get in that way? The answers are different depending on your actual connectivity. You might go to the Pineapple University website linked in the forums and check out the first connectivity videos. And all the other ones too...

Moderators: I'm sure you've noticed this question comes up weekly. We could use a Stickied thread for the new folks who aren't familiar with the forums and/or don't search.... https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/30638-karma-not-working-on-mobile-devices/?hl=%2Bkarma+%2Bnot+%2Bworking LukeB, Welcome to the fourms... Please don't think I'm picking on you for not researching. It's in general so it just includes you... :)

lunokhod, Need a little more detail in order to understand what you are seeing and where you are seeing it. Can you do copy and pastes of outputs from the commands you're running or perhaps screenshots if it's in an infusion?

You're talking about injecting a random Mac Address into each probe request or maybe after X amount of probes switch Macs? Interesting idea... I don't know how to implement that other than using mac changer but it sounds like it would need to be an automated script that changes the Mac brings everything up and strarts spamming probes then shuts everything down after X amount of time, changes the Mac again and comes back up and starts spamming.

DId you read the post I linked above? Darren flat out states that Macs have started to rely more heavily on probe requests, which to me indicates that Karma would be more effective. And as Xcellerator states it is software changes not hardware related.

I'm pretty sure the wpa_supplicant is used on the pineapple... And if you want to control the wireless interfaces use the WiFi Manager infusion. br-lan is the bridged interface: bridgeds: br0, br-lan are used to make multiple virtual or physical network interfaces act as if they were just one network interface (quasi the opposite of VLANs). Can also be used for VPN and bridged interfaces. The Linux Ethernet bridge can be used for connecting multiple Ethernet devices together. The connecting is fully transparent: hosts connected to one Ethernet device see hosts connected to the other Ethernet devices directly. understanding how bridge-interfaces work

Maybe you've seen this one, maybe you haven't.... Darren's response is at the top. https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/30638-karma-not-working-on-mobile-devices/?hl=%2Bkarma+%2Bnot+%2Bworking

english_gent, I guess I've been assuming you know that Karma is "broken"... That is, it isn't broken so much as the companies that make WiFi products have patched around the vulnerability that Karma was taking advantage of. It has been discussed at length in this forum already. Were you aware of this?

You state that you know that wlan0 is locked by design.... If you accept this what exactly is your question? Ohh and it was the TX power that is locked, not the RX side... Are you using the stock antennas?

hfam, I was never any good with Pictionary but even I can see he's telling you to pucker up and kiss his ass... :) Thousands of happy pineapple customers but he can't seem to find any satisfaction. That's rough. No seriously, I might shed a real tear.

english_gent, Just what is this specific question / problem you are referring to? If you believe Darren spends his days just answering question in these forums you're in for a bit of a let down. It may be that we know the answer but haven't bothered to respond because it's been asked and answered... Limited time, limited patience. I'm not saying this is definitely one of those occasions but as hfam suggested tell us what you're talking about and maybe that will rekindle something.
