Thanks a lot!

When Kevin Mitnick demonstrates a USB rubber ducky on this talk https://youtu.be/Q7G3kKRdUl4?t=19mthe rubber ducky shows up as a normal flash drive in My Computer and the user is able to store data (which is probably on the microsd card), but it is at the same time a HID device and can execute keystrokes. I just got my rubber ducky, but I am not able to make it work as it is demonstrated by Kevin on the mentioned talk. When I plug it in, it is recognized as a HID device and can execute keystrokes, but I do not see it in my computer as a flash drive. Is there any way to make it work like it is shown on the mentioned talk?

This is probably a stupid question and I am sorry about that because I learned about the pineapple just few hours ago, but I can't find a clarification anywhere: What can I do with the pineapple that I can not do with a linux machine and a wifi adapter? As I understood, the main purpose of the pineapple is to route wifi traffice over it so that you can start MITM attacks. Why would I use the pineapple for that if I can just connect to an open network and use arpspoof? Is the main advantage of the pineapple the ease of use? Thanks a lot!!!
