MK5 has been running for 14 hours powering the MiFi 5510l and running everything in the PineAP window as well as sslstrip, using the stock power supply. Completely stable. Just did a speed test and got 11 down and 8 up, but the upload had an initial two-second burst of 22. This is the sort of functionality I was looking for. Just made a trip to the Hak5 store for more gear. I no longer care about Client Mode, at all. It's become irrelevant for me. I know I can run the MK5 via Ethernet on my laptop running Kali OR tethered to the 5510l. Heck of a useful tool now. Thank you, Darren.

Holy crap yes! This makes the MiFi 5510l, 1. Usable tethered. 2. VERY usable. 3. Easily! This information should be in the Modems thing. The MiFi 5510l (Verizon) is confirmed. Just run the commands Darren wrote above. Solid as concrete. Fast concrete.

Thank you. I hadn't seen that episode. Cool. Also, I'll check out inSSIDer. What was with the dogs barking, I wonder.

Okay, this page is the basic bump chart. I removed information to protect... somebody... probably me. Each bump is labeled with the ssid. Here's the main page when you're a client of the MK5 (below). Note you can verify your MK5 has internet access with this page with the button in the upper right. Next the the Channels page, before you start Karma and PineAP This next one is cool. This is the Channels page AFTER you start Karma and PineAP. Notice anything about all these channels? So if YOU aren't doing that at the time, someone certainly is. I could scroll down for about 2 more pages and it was all the same thing, including one that said "FBI Reconnaissance Van #24" ---> It was about -9F outside so there was just no way the actual FBI would be out there. If you have helpful Wifi apps (helpful in setting up or diagnosing Pineapple deployment, lets hear about them.

There's some cool chart and information pages, one that shows you what Karma is doing. I ran out of image room on this topic so I'll upload them somewhere else and then post them.

I use the OOKLA Speed Test, but I just found another app for my Kindle Fire that looks to be helpful, pre-deployment. It also shows you what Karma and to some extent (I think) PineAP are doing. It's called WiFi Overview 360 Pro. Cost me 3 bucks USD from Amazon. First, it can give you info on which channels are more open, prior to deployment.

Depending upon what you're asking, you can use another device, your phone or tablet, for instance, to become a client of the MK5 and then log in to McDonalds to register the MK5 on the network. After that, clients who associate with the MK5 will not have to go through that process. They can just surf the internet (with you watching). That may not be what you're asking, but it's one answer to that question. Doubtful anyone would notice the lack of a splash page. But if you're looking for their login credentials for that network then yes, you gotta go with Evil Portal.

PineAP works so well it has scared me. Found 21 people connected just now and shut it down. That may not seem like so many but that's right about the number of people within range where I'm at. So I got all the wifi. Just testing it so I released everyone. What's amazing to me is that just about everyone trusts wifi enough to keep it turned on all the time. Their phones come with 5GB per month of pretty darn secure 3g or 4g and they're paying for that whether they use it or not. Why keep wifi turned on?

Pretty sure the Pineapple was doing exactly what it should have been doing. My Kindle was somehow holding a root session open in the background. Turned the Kindle off and back on and problem solved. This is why I don't enter bug reports. It's almost always something having nothing to do at all to the MK5. The Silk browser on the Kindle Fire handles the MK5 web interface so well too! It loves it so much that it doesn't want to let go of it!

I cannot access the web interface now. Well, I can access it via ethernet or wlan0, but when I enter the password and push the button, the screen just kind of wiggles and stays there on the front page. I know the password is still correct because I can still SSH in with Putty and the MK5 lets me in. Only new thing is that I use the new "logs" update that became available yesterday evening. I've tried 5 different browsers on 3 machines (Win7, Kindle Fire and Linux box).Cleared caches, everything. Weird. Oh yeah. Need to mention this. The MK5 is working! You can go through it and surf the internets! I did have every thing in the PineAP box running and it seems to be working great. Captured more clients last night than ever before. I just can't log in as root via 172.16.42.1/1471

Good for Google! Used to be, someone with an advanced degree in AI couldn't find a job outside a univeristy. Not anymore. Google and Amazon are snarfing them up and paying well. Them and Wall Street.

Oh shoot, 0jf5, you mean two USB radios on the Raspberry Pi. My apologies. I'm still going to hang with the Pineapple, mainly because of PineAP. And not because what PineAP is right now, but the potential of it. I'm in industrial automation. I lose sleep over Jasager attacks and anyone in automation who doesn't is in for a rude awakening. Pretty soon we're going to be paying $1000/hr for people to patch our systems up and we'll be glad to pay it. It's not just wifi. With some tweaks, PineAP's basic tech could map to any short-haul radio comm. When automation gets attacked we don't just lose money. Stuff blows up. Very nasty stuff like acids, hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulfide go to atmosphere. Whole industry has a lot of catching up to do.

I had a holiday weekend in a hotel away from the family, a new MK5 and a new Raspberry B+ so I figured I'd give it a shot. VERY difficult to keep the radio and ethernet on the pi connected. Impossible so far. And then when you accomplish keeping both eth0 and wlan0 running (through trickery) one or the other of them isn't really connected - it's lights are flashing away but you don't have an internet connection through the MK5. I spent 9 hours on rounting tables so I'd be ready when I got the radios figured out. Never happened. There's people on the internet who say they've done it, but I followed their exact procedure without success. Not much value in that, far as I'm concerned. http://www.glennklockwood.com/sa/rpi-wifi-bridge.php http://hackhappy.org/uncategorized/how-to-use-a-raspberry-pi-to-create-a-wireless-to-wired-network-bridge/ Not sure I believe it. Mini-PC? Sure it'll work. Raspberry Pi? I don't think the Raspberry Pi hardware supports it. You're welcome to prove me wrong. At this point I'd enjoy that.
