Can you post the contents of /etc/config/autossh please? Also, post the ssh command line you used to connect from your pineapple to you VPS. (Redact your IP as you did above.) Also, from a shell on your pineapple, try just this: ssh -i <path-to-private-key> <user>@<ip-of-VPS> Does that give you a shell? For comparison, my autossh config file looks like the following: option ssh '-i /root/.ssh/id_rsa -N -T -R 1471:localhost:1471 -R 2223:localhost:22 <not-root>@<my-server> -p 22' This puts the pineapple's web and SSH ports on my "relay server" on ports 1471 and 2223 respectively. (This lets me create another tunnel from my laptop for the web interface, and I can putty directly for ssh.)

Interesting. I don't use IE, but it showed up in Mantra, a Firefox derivative. It didn't show up for me in Chrome, Iceweasle, or Firefox though. Well, anyone that didn't see it has it now.

I can't believe this ancient thread (from 20 May 2006) is still getting attention. I saw Vivek added his site (http://www.securitytube.net) about five years ago. I would note that he offers a variety of both free and inexpensive online training. There are a lot of excellent training providers out there for professionals, but there are also some very reasonable classes out there too. So did the results of all this feedback ever make it to the Wiki? When I clicked the supposed link, it sent me to a video of Darren "hacking" Paddington Bear.

That link didn't show up in my browser. How odd is that?

Always... in writing!! Don't expect to get it either.

While I can't think of a use case preferring a Bluetooth dongle over a third WiFi, having options is still nice. I'm curious, has anyone actually done this? Or has anyone used BT as an axillary connection to their pineapple?

You need network access to the pineapple in order to connect to it. I assume you want to disconnect the cat-5 cable, but still have the pineapple connected to the local network (and the internet) via one of the pineapple's wireless interfaces. Is that the question? To do that via the web interface, go into the Network infusion, select the Client Mode tab and connect to a local AP just as you would your laptop or phone. (This can also be done via the WiFi Manager infusion.) Once your pineapple is connected to the local AP, make a note of its IP and ssh (or browse) to that. (You can then disconnect the cable and still have access.) You could also set up the pineapple as an AP (again using the Network or WiFi Manager infusions), connect your laptop to that, and ssh to 172.16.42.1. But you'll need Client Mode (or the cable) anyway to get your pineapple on the network. (As a next step, when my pineapple boots, it uses the autossh service to create two port forward tunnels (22 & 1471) to a "relay server" I have set up. So I can SSH or browse in from anywhere, not just a local network.) Did siftyy's question get answered?

Do you all remember the shank "BeEF Injection Framework" from SpiderLabs? Have a look.

"New Shimmer is a floor wax and a dessert topping." It's a small, lightweight Linux box with a USB adapter, 2 WiFi adapters, Ethernet, extensible support for custom tools/applications, and more. So Darren wants to play with SDRs and drones; it seems like using the pineapple is a natural choice.

If you fail via the infusions on the Web Interface, then look at the other threads on 1.3.0 upgrade issues or start a new one. Is this thread answered? I had no trouble at all via the Web Interface with the pineapple connected to the internet. It's not the only way, but is probably the easiest.

FWIW and if it helps anyone, the last line of my /etc/config/autossh is similar to: option ssh '-i /root/.ssh/id_rsa -N -T -R 1471:localhost:1471 -R 222:localhost:22 <someuser>@<somedomain> -p 22' The autossh infusion doesn't like it (yet), but that gives me both the web interface and SSH forwarded over a single persistent SSH connection whenever the pineapple boots (if it's set up to connect to the internet). Since my relay servers' firewall only forwards SSH to the Internet, I use SSH (or Putty) to connect myself (laptop) to the relay and forward those ports back to me. So -R from the pineapple to the relay, and -L from my laptop to the relay puts both services from the pineapple to localhost on my laptop. Since I use session chaining for the SSH connections, I don't actually need to port forward the SSH from the laptop. Either way, both services (HTTP & SSH) are over SSH end-to-end.

She looks annoyed but otherwise completely unconcerned. What SSID did you use?

Good idea, thanks. While I'm a Linux person and highly recommend it, for an ssh client, I actually prefer Putty. There seems to have been a major issue with the cards as delivered; my pineapple wasn't bricked, but even gparted couldn't figure out the formatting. Good recommendation. Me too!

Really? Thanks, I'll try some other setups then. It was nice to meet you all at ShmooCon.

I got a Mark V recently and have been checking it out. When I tried to start an AP on both radios simultaneously using the WiFi Manager infusion, the second radio won't transmit. Both wlan1 and radio1 are enabled, but the red LED won't light and the AP doesn't show up in a scan. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks everyone, Of course I should have mentioned packet injecction (aireplay-ng -9) instead of just monitor mode, but you all already know what I'm looking for I think. I don't care about power or range, as it will almost always be used in a lab. But I'd like it to work in a BackTrack VM with all the usual stuff and no fuss or muss. You've made some good suggestions, and $5.58 (thanks BlueWyvern) is much less than $10! But I'm really looking for one that someone can say: "Just plug it in to your BackTrack VM, and it will do everything just like your Alfa." That was how it is with the ENUWI-N3, no messing with linux drivers, blacklisting, etc. Darren held it up in one of the shows and I thik it was identified in the shownotes or discussion, and I ordered a few. On a good note: After cracking some WPS2 in a lab this past week, one guy returned the Encore and ordered his own Alfa. (See, the ENUWI is like the starter drug of WiFi devices. ) @Pwnd2Pwnr: I wish I'd read your marital advice a week ago; how stupid of me to forget. Anyway, I hope someone can say with certainty to "just order a few of these." Surely others are doing the same thing on a budget. Thanks again all.

A while back, Darren mentioned a cheap Encore dongle as being suitable for use with BackTrack (built in driver, mon mode, etc.), the ENUWI-N3. That's what I was looking for, so I picked up a few to loan out to folks that show up in my offensive security group without one. (I use an Alfa.) They've been great, but they tend to walk away and I'm down to one now, and my wife likes to borrow it too, so I thought I'd pick up a few more. The problem is, they seem to be out of production. So I'm looking for a suitable replacement, something under $10. Any suggestions? Thanks.
