  1. I have to go through the roof if I want to mount the antenna as high as possible with the shortest coax. I'll patch it up nice. I guess my theory behind the omni picking up more noise is that it's picking up noise from 360 degrees instead of a focused direction, though I'm not sure if this is the case. It makes sense but I still gotta try it myself as I could be wrong and the directional may "channel" in just as much noise from one direction and it may be a wash between the two. I guess I'll find out. At the very least, I'll have given my Kali a couple more "arms". All of my antennas (except a home brew yagi and a couple cheap yagis) are ALFA brand and seem like good quality antennas. Unfortunately, I have my main antenna cluster mounted in the attic on a remote control rotator. I can't have that thing on the outside of my roof as I'm sure it will raise some eyebrows. Also I would be interested in Cooper's idea for an antenna. I'm going to look into that. Antenna rotator...
  2. I used the Network Manager infusion. Oddly though, It had to be set up as LAN. Screen Shot...
  3. For distance I heard the RTL8187 is hard to beat. However, I heard it's receive capabilities are also it's handicap as it also picks up a lot of noise. I have a couple of these, one hooked to a 24dbi parabolic dish and one hooked to an 18dbi yagi which seem to work very well, however, I don't have a big omni (yet) to compare against as I'm sure an omni would pick up more noise. Of course I could be wrong. So I bought a couple 15dbi omnis to do some testing :) Now I need to get a couple short pig tails and drill some holes in my roof...
  4. I have mine set up as follows: wlan0 <---set up as open AP for clients to connect to. wlan1 <---for deauthing peeps. wlan2 <---ALFA AWUS036NEH from HAK5 that I use to connect to internet for improved throughput. wlan3 <---ALFA AWUS036NHA I use this as a second AP but secured with WPA2. The reason is when I'm accessing the web GUI with my phone, this provides a secure connection (if you use an open AP to access the web GUI, the password can be seen in plain text with wireshark). This all is still pretty compact. I milled the slot off of the back of an ALFA holster and attached it to the back of the Pineapple so the NHA is easily removable. I bought a small, USB splitter that rotates of Amazon and a short little cable to keep it all compact. This setup works quite well. I also have an ALFA Rabbit (not sure if it's a genuine ALFA product but it DOES work great) that I was using just for testing. It ran all of this without issue using the wall wart.
  5. My problem seems to be something between using wlan1 connected as client and having (but not necessarily USING) an external USB NIC as an AP. If anyone is interested in more details I submitted a bug report with more info here. fringes, I thought it might be a resource problem too so I put the little pineapple through it's paces with all of that crazy stuff plugged in (but this time not using wlan1 as a client) and it worked GREAT! Dual speed tests, streaming HD video, everything worked and it didn't re-boot as long as I wasn't using wlan1 as client and external USB running as AP at the same time. I was just originally confused because I was testing for (and what seemed like) a power issue until I delved deeper into it. But I WAS having a power issue with 5v and re-booting originally.
  6. Do you like big directionals? Do you like portable ones that are easy to hide? What kind of antenna setup do you use in your secret lair vs mobile? Do you prefer to use a specific kind of antenna together with a specific wireless ALFA card or chipset?
  7. I seem to be experiencing a problem with Deauth and I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this. FW version = 2.0.3, Infusion version = 1.8, mon0 interface started from wlan1. Configuration: whitelist-blank, blacklist-my router's BSSID, aireplay-ng, channel 11(same as my router), deauth packets-tried everything, sleep seconds-10, set blacklist. When I run this, in Wireshark I see a bunch of probe responses from my router to mon0 and a couple probe requests from mon0 to my router, but NO deauth packets. Sooo... I SSHed into the pineapple and tried to run aireplay-ng from the CLI and here's what I found: running---> aireplay-ng -0 1 -a <my router> -c <my phone> mon0 results in getting THIS message---> "Couldn't determine current channel for mon0, you should either force the operation with --ignore-negative-one or apply a kernel patch" (btw, I tried the --ignore-negative-one optio to no avail). I also was getting this on my install of Kali on my main puter and just thought it was something conflicting because I have so much other crap installed on here. I always just run all of my wifi interfaces in "true" monitor mode on my main puter anyway and deauth/injection works great. A little googling revealed that some other peeps having this problem un-installed their network manager to get around this problem. This seems kind of drastic. Any thoughts? Oh, one last thing. mdk3 doesn't seem to do anything at all. Of course, I haven't played with it too much as I've been concentrating on aireplay-ng for now.
  8. My apologies Darrin, ananades. I decided to try to replicate the rebooting issue with 12v and can confirm that my problem still occurred with 12v. Sooo... I decided to investigate further into what was causing the issue and here is what I found... (All tests performed on FW version 2.0.3 with only sslstrip and WiFi manager installed, almost everything else is factory fresh) I decided to use the wall wart for my test and put the pineapple though some serious power challenges. The wall wart seemed to not be the issue. What I did find was every time that I used wlan1 to connect to my AP and then use an external USB WiFi adaptor to rebroadcast as an AP, everything seemed OK, until... I started streaming HD video on my laptop and after a minute or so, it would reboot. Or, if I connected wirelessly to the external USB AP with my phone, reboot. Long story short, after testing with many different combinations of AP and client configurations (by the way, the two external USB Alfa adaptors that I used for testing where the AWUS036NHA and the AWUS036NEH) wlan1 set as client and external USB adaptor set as AP = reboot. I could use wlan1 as client with wlan0 as AP without issue. I could use external USB as client and wlan0 as AP without issue. I could use an external USB as client and another external USB as AP without issue. Only when I tried using wlan1 as client and an external USB as AP, REBOOT. Ananades, your problem sounds (and may be) different than mine but I wanted to clarify what my problem was (and wasn't (the wall wart wasn't causing the issue)) so maybe it can help you. Has anyone else noticed this?
  9. I have three 45 foot USB cables (in parallel) running up to my ALFA/antenna combos in my attic and incur NO appreciable signal degradation at all. Just make sure that if you use really long USB cables (and I forget the specific length threshold) that they have the built in circuitry as the extra length can cause serial timing issues if I understand correctly. In other words, don't join three 6 foot USB cables together and expect it to work properly.
  10. Yep, that's been my observation too. PineAp starts a mon0 interface on wlan1. Interesting to note is that if you spoof your Mac for wlan1 via the network tile, then you will loose PineAp functionality until you set it back to the original.
  11. Depending on use. But if I just use it modestly, i'd say 6-7 hours. One trick I like to do if I know I'm going to be using it a lot is I have a small, portable battery that I plug into the Glass as I'm using it. You can put the battery in your shirt pocket or something and it will last for a LONG time. I have an Anker 3000mah "lipstick" battery and I sometimes wear it around my neck, under my shirt like a necklace. You'll forget it's even there! And you can use the glass as much as you want without fear of running down the battery.
  12. Everyone at Hak5 OK? Did this effect you guys?
  13. How kewl would it be if we could make an infusion that would have a glassware interface (Google Glass) so you could see a signal meter of the selected SSID whilst walking around inconspicuously. You could even have a directional antenna in your back pack (or a Yagi up your sleeve) to locate APs. Just trying to think of ways to use Glass with our favorite fruit. I've installed the Glass SDK on my Kali but I'm no java expert by any means, just a tinkerer. Anybody else have any ideas?
  14. It has been my observation that the higher the voltage (up to 12v), the more stable it becomes. I agree with newbi3 that 5 volts isn't going to let you do much. I even had problems with the wall wart while streaming 1080 video with a high power ALFA. Whenever I run into a rebooting issue, I plug in to 12v to make sure it's not a lot power issue first. BTW, I found a really cool USB voltage stepper upper on eBay for like 5 or 6 bucks that you can plug into a 5v USB and get 12v USB female out the other side. I have yet to test the efficiency of this yet as I'm sure it will lose some for battery use, but it works none the less.
  15. I just saw a post saying that changing the Mac on wlan1 can cause PineAp not to start, so I guess I found the answer to my problem (figures right after I post). However, this doesn't make sense to me. Not to mention, I WANT my wlan1 Mac spoofed. I'm going to try and figure out a work around and will post what ever I find.
  16. I hope this is the right place to post this but I can't seem to get PineAp functionality at all. My rig is a clean slate pineapple with 2.0.3 and a Alfa AWUS036NHA plugged into the USB port (which plays nice with the pineapple in every other way). When I enable PineAp from either the small or big tile, it takes down wlan1 and starts a mon0 interface and then nothing... I try to enable harvester, dogma, nothing... Interestingly, every time I click enable it starts another monitor interface. I've tried rebooting, reflashing, karma on, karma off, and various other combinations of things. Am I missing something totally obvious? I watched Seb and Darrin's vid and been lurking the forums since the day after the flashing party but I'm still stuck. Any insight would be most welcomed.
