[Wifi Pineapple as a Wireless Access Point Scanner?]

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I will go ahead and explore the options you guys threw out there and let you know if I have any other questions.

[Wifi Pineapple as a Wireless Access Point Scanner?]

Hi,

I have recently inherited a Wifi Pineapple (Holiday Bundle) from a co-worker. From my research, my understanding is that the main usage is to use this as a man in the middle tool. We are currently working on a project to scan for access points throughout our buildings and determine if there are any unauthorized access points (I was told I should be able to do this when I received the tool).

Current Configuration:

- Wifi Pineapple Mark IV

- Windows 7

- 2.4 GHz 7dBi Indoor Panel Antenna

- Pineapple Juice power supply

- Currently have this configured as stated in the booklet and have been able to connect to the Pineapple interface.

Questions:

1. Can this be used as a wireless scanner?

2. Will my Wifi Pineapple configuration support this? or do I need anything else?

3. Do I need any other software (preferably freeware)?

4. Is there an easier way that I should try and abandon using the Wifi Pineapple for this project?

I am very new to this tool so any and all help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
