The version of the software mentioned does matter. Other version may not work. The tutorial is workable if you followed it step by step. However, this howto is for the old version of Pineapple Mark IV only. By the way, Pineapple is only work for any "victim" who has been connected to any open wifi network (without password). It is very rare nowadays. Most so-called free wifi networks have passwords to login. So, Pineapple is useless and it is not so powerful. Samiux

@newbi3, Yeah, your solution is the best, I think. Thanks for your advise. I will try it later. Samiux

@newbi3, I created a directory "/usb" at the root directory "/", but the module "mitm" still cannot be installed. Any idea? Samiux

@dustbyter, IMO, please do NOT follow this guide to build your own WiFi Pineapple as it is not correct and the Karma does not function as expected. You can follow my guide and I tested the Karma which is 100% functioning as expected. You just replace the instruction for installing the OpenWrt firmware from MR3020 to WR703N. Others should be remained the same. Samiux

@dustbyter, What guide do you follow? Or, how you set it up? If you follow this guide, it does not work unless you change the DNS at /etc/config/dhcp to 172.16.42.42. However, my guide works perfectly without any editing or changing of the configure file. You can follow it but replace the firmware of OpenWrt with the WR-703N. Samiux

@dustbyter, The /lib/firmware is not for USB 3G dongle. I think it is not necessary as in my TL-MR3020, it is empty, so I copy the files to it and it got no harm. If the TL-WR703N is not empty, I think do NOT copy over it. For the Karma, it is working on my device only for OPEN network. Meanwhile, my Android 4.0.4 does not send out probe requests, so it does not work. My old iPod touch working for open network only. But you need to select the previous connected open network manually in order to connect to Karma. I did not test the Ubuntu and Windows 7 with automatically connect to the network feature. I will keep you for the information about this. Samiux

Nevermind, I solved the problem. The new guide to build your own DIY Wifi Pineapple is here. Samiux

@Sebkinne, Would you mind pointing out the incomplete and error parts so as I can try to fix it? Thanks. Samiux

Hi all, I am very impressed by the WiFi Pineapple. I decided to build one myself as the original one is quite expensive for me. I build my DIY Pineapple with TP-Link MR3020 pocket router with a 8GB USB pendrive and OpenWrt. The steps and procedure is here. I just make it up and have no time to test it fully. Today, I try to test the Karma in my DIY Pineapple but I encounter the following problem : For the Karma, I expected that the rouge access point that making by Karma will accept all connections from the nearby victim devices when they are turning on their wifi and looking for their desired networks. However, my TP-Link MR3020 does not working as I expected. How it does not work? I have a WPA2 CCMP encrypted access point and her SSID is HelloWorld. My DIY Pineapple's Karma SSID is OpenWrt without any encryption (open). When I create a new network "OpenWrt" on my Android phone, my phone does not connect to the OpenWrt but connected to HellowWorld instead as I connected to it before. Secondary, I need to connect to OpenWrt manually. I disabled the wifi function on my phone and then enabled it again. My phone will connect to the OpenWrt automatically even I have connected to Helloworld before. Thirdly, even the HelloWorld is turned off, my phone cannot connect to OpenWrt automatically if it is not connected to it before. My questions are : (1) How can the Karma on my DIY Pineapple to pick up all the connections from the nearby victim devices even they do not connect to my Pineapple SSID manually? (2) Do I misunderstand the function or feature of Karma? Or, my DIY Pineapple is not working properly only? Thanks. Samiux
