Hey guys,
New to these forums. I'm thinking of picking up the mark iv, but I have a handful of questions before I make my decision. I have looked up the info, searched the forums, read the guides I could find, and still feel that I should ask these questions because I'm unsure.
At the moment, I pretty much use BT5 r3 for pentesting my own network. I use my AWUS036H for my wifi connection or sometimes just keep it as eth0 (internal) if I don't have the AWUS036H plugged in.
I would prefer to tether my computer to the pineapple for ICS. That is, from what I understand, I need to have connected to a wifi connection or gained internet access from any outside source so that the mark iv can actually work (unless I decided to use a 3g usb or android tethering).
Is this correct?
Also, if I use my AWUS036H for wifi on BT5 R3, will I be able to share that connection with the pineapple mark iv?
The reason I'm asking is because I'd like to test out the Backtrack suite of tools within my pineapple access point (SET, wireshark, ettercap, etc.). Does anyone know if this works well?
Any recommendations on whether to get the standard, pro, or elite? Is the rechargeable battery worth it? What is the USB Power charger for in that case? Is it worth getting the elite or pro over standard?
Thanks ahead of time gents!
