Okay, here it is. I need to finish the wiring to the power/charge panel today, but otherwise I'm done with it for awhile. I think in the near future I'm going to switch to Kiazen foam and redo it. The setup: Wifi Pineapple w/antennas swiped from my Asus router, TP-Link NIC (Atheros AR9271) Raspberry Pi w/2gb SD (for booting) 32GB USB drive (OS runs from this) and Alfa NIC (RaLink RT3070) running bleeding edge Kali Linux w/XFCE, overclocked to 1050mhz CPU/550 GPU Intocircuit Power Castle PC26000 26000mAh External Battery The battery pack simultaneously provides the Pi with 5v, the Pineapple with12v, and can take a charge. So far with about 80-85% charge the battery was able to go 21hrs with the Pineapple alone. I'll do more testing later. The battery is automatic when you plug into it, so I added the power buttons for the Pi and Pineapple. (unplugging/plugging is difficult since everything is jammed in) Added the charge port to make it accessible. The SD card and DIP switches on the Pineapple are easily accessible, and everything comes out while leaving the wiring in place. The case is IP67 rated (waterproof to 3' for 30 minutes), impact resistant, and lockable. So far I've had it in the rain, the snow, dropped it from 4', and rolled it down a flight of stairs. (yes, with everything in it) Everything stays securely where it should. I built this for entertainment purposes only. I realize a case this size isn't very inconspicuous. Honestly you could stuff this into a normal backpack, and no one would be the wiser. I wanted something self contained, easily mobile, and rugged. This is what my idea morphed into. I'm sure it will constantly be in a state of change, like anything else. I already want to change to a faster USB drive, and shorter patch cable.

Quick update on the battery, it finally gave up at 21hrs. So I would figure maybe 24-26hrs on a full charge? Ad the Pi, maybe 12-13hrs runtime? I'll be testing again this week.

Decided to give the battery a whirl today with just the Pineapple on. Wlan0 is an open AP, wlan1 is connected to my network, and wlan2 is in monitor mode running airodump. I'm at work checking on it periodically, so far at 11 hrs. The battery wasn't 100% full to start. I'll update when it finally gives up.

This makes me feel a lot better, I was actually thinking of adding a thermometer to my new setup for shiggles. Gonna be toasty...

The project is coming along pretty well. Need to finish up some wiring, and then take some decent photos.

Will do. It came dead. You can tell it's not an expensive piece, but the build quality is good nuff. It's *much* bigger than I had anticipated, I must have gotten wrong measurements. Going to have to be creative to fit all of this.

This is what I used as a guide before buying that: http://backtrack.pl/wiki/doku.php?id=en:cards Which was great because it was much cheaper than the Alfa. Alter?

Okay, its all here. I'll probably start a new thread somewhere when I'm finished.

Finally settled on a parts list, and ordered. Should be able to build the new setup this week/weekend. I'll take pics of everything. I've got to do some more testing to decide on how I'm going to use the Kali Pi.

Ha, I was using that online calculator yesterday. I am just using a multi-meter to do amp draw. I need to finish up. (test under load) I don't know what the Alfa is adding, but its got to be a lot. I only get about 12hrs out of my travel Pineapple juice battery at mostly idle. I'll see if I can do some more testing today, without the Alfa.

My travel battery was doing 12.6v w/no load. I was doing some amp draw testing yesterday, to get an idea what the Pineapple was using w/the 3rd radio. I didn't get a chance to finish, but the boot process started at 180mA, and settled around 350-400mA after the Alfa turned on. I was powering the Pineapple with a 12v source while testing.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm putting together a mobile Raspple Pi myself. I've posted this in a thread in the MkV section, thought I would share here as well for anyone playing with a Pi. You can get MUCH faster results/performace by booting from a USB drive, instead of an SD. I have two Pi's setup in my house (one for OpenElec, the other for RetroPie) both boot from USB. Using a crap 4gb class 4 SD, and a USB 2.0 drive, the speed is fantastic. MUCH MUCH faster/smoother than the class 10 SD card I was using. (booting from a USB drive has been discussed quite a bit in XBMC forums) Also (at least with XBMC) it was fairly easy to get corrupt data written to the SD when overclocked. (I only had an issue once) While booting from the USB drive, overclocking to 1050mhz is not a problem. I've got Kali on the Pi booting from a USB drive instead of the SD now. I'm using an old 2gb class 4 SD, and a (slow) 32GB USB drive. It definitely boots up faster, and moves around faster. I've also overclocked the CPU from 700mhz to 1ghz, and the RAM from 250mhz to 500mhz. I'm guessing if you used one of the spiffy USB drives like this, it would help: http://www.amazon.co...d=ATVPDKIKX0DER

If anyone is still interested, I've got Kali booting from a USB drive instead of the SD. I'm using an old 2gb class 4 SD, and a (slow) 32GB USB drive. It definitely boots up faster, and moves around faster. I've also overclocked the CPU from 700mhz to 1ghz, and the RAM from 250mhz to 500mhz.

I'm not just using it for the Pineapple, I would need it for the Pi also. Two outputs at once, the ability to charge while using it, and double the maH. That's why I'm looking at that.

After some more digging, I'm considering this one now... http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BB5VQCE/ref=s9_simh_awgw_d0_g107_i5/189-5349520-5034360?aid=aw_gw&apid=1678137742&arc=1201&arid=0TZ3G2X417CC9CQC60PJ&asn=center-6&pf_rd_i=aw_gw&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=1678137742&pf_rd_r=0TZ3G2X417CC9CQC60PJ&pf_rd_s=center-6&pf_rd_t=1201

My setup is the Pineapple w/Alfa, and Kali Pi with another Alfa. On the Pineapple wlan0 is the AP, wlan1 connects to another AP for internet access, and the Alfa is for misc. (deauth, etc) You can access the Pi using SSH or VNC once connected to the Pineapple. The Alfa on the Pi can then be used for wifite, reaver, bully, etc. (along with everything else you can do with Kali) I'm going to end up with this battery to power both units. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NGLTZQ/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A294P4X9EWVXLJ

I'm going to go with this in my new setup. (wifi raspple pi) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BP8UPNS/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER Should be ordering the parts this weekend. I still have some measuring/figuring to do.

Okay, here in this screenshot you can see my setup. The Pineapple is on the front porch, in the travel bag, idle. I also have an Alfa plugged in. Wlan0 is an open AP on channel 11, and wlan1 is connected to my main router (Asus RT-AC66R) on channel 6, two rooms away with WPA2. I also have a secondary router (Netgear WNDR3700 w/DD-WRT) in the living room on channel 1, also WPA2. I'm sitting in the living room with my laptop using the built in Intel wifi, connected to the Pineapple. The test I used is directly to my ISP in Chrome. I have a 50/10 connection, and this test will give those results every single time on each router. (provided the wireless connection to the router is good enough) I also tested with my phone, an LG G2 with an Alpha build AOSP KitKat rom. (having some wifi driver issues) and got 3mbps/2mbps. I also connected the Pineapple to the secondary router, and redid the laptop and cell phone tests, both virtually the same.

Yeah, got the update when it dropped. Only thing I can think of, is that I never unplugged my Alfa from the USB before formatting. (never noticed the note before in the format area/screen) So this time, I rebooted, unplugged the Alfa, formatted, got it working, rebooted and plugged the Alfa back in.

Yeah, same thing. So a reset didn't help either. After resetting, I re-formated again and that did the trick, so far it seems to be back to normal. Working fine. So what happened, and how can this be avoided in the future?

Kind of an weird problem. I have the Pineapple setup with all the infusions installed on the SD. I had the Pineapple running on the battery, and a Cron job updating a log file on the SD with the uptime every 5 minutes. Left it running last night to get an idea of how long the battery would go for. Got up today, plugged it in, and the SD card shows as there, but its blank. I have no infusions, no log, no folders, nothing. Put it in my PC, both partitions are still there (swap and storage) both blank. Nothing. Did a few reboots on the Pineapple, plugged it back in, and it shows fine. So I decided to SSH in and create another log file. I'm using nano to create a file, when I try to save it it comes up with: "Error writing /sd/uplog.log: Input/output error" I formatted the card, it seemed to go fine. Same error. Ideas? Will a reflash/factory reset fix this?

No, and that thought actually struck me. I figured I should probably just go ahead and install all infusions to the SD. So I removed SSLstrip, re-installed to the SD, and it STILL seemed to be putting the log file on internal storage. Using SSH and ls command, only thing on the SD (other than the folders) was my "uplog.log" file from Cron. Am I missing it? Is it in another folder under infusions?

Okay, very noob question related to SSLstrip and a few others, and I didn't want to make a thread for it. How do you get them to save the log file to the SD card?? I see people talking about it, but I can't for the life of me find anything about how. I've gotten a log from a Cron job to write to the SD, but I can easily see how to specify that. On the others like SSL, URL, etc I don't see anywhere where I can specify sd/ What am I missing?

Very interesting.....

Are you on the latest firmware? Although I'm pretty certain when I tested mine it was new. (still 1.0) I was getting about 8-12mbps up and down testing with Speedtest.net. (50 Mbps connection) I know that isn't much help, but at least you know it *can/should* work fine.
