  1. Hi all

    just digging out my pV again and want to hook it up to my Pi3 running raspbian.  I also want to use my old awus036nha as well.  To avoid asking all the usual questions is there a youtube video or how to guide lying around anywhere that can jump start me? I looked but couldn't really find anything. ANY help would be awesome

    thanks

     

  2. Bought an alfa awus036nh and loaded up ubuntu 16.04 lts on a thinkpad 420. BUT the thinkpad wireless gets me a better signal than the alfa??? I noted the power readings from fluxion using both wireless adapters in the same location.

    ALSO I can't seem to up the TX on the alfa at all. is there a problem with Ubuntu drivers and this usb wireless adapter? I thought it was supposed to be pretty well respected for hacking? I found a few discussions on this topic that lead me to believe that the current standard drivers in ubuntu 16.04 weren't the correct ones BUT they all seem to disagree on which to install.

    thanks for any pointers.

     

     

  3. No one seems to want to answer my questions. They view them and no response at all. Not even "stupid question..." so what's the deal

     

    Is there a guide for the various antennas and their best use?   I have 3 antennas wlan0, wlan1 and wlan2 (awus036nha usb) .  I am looking for a best use guide that says which antenna is best suited for what purpose in people's experience.

    1.  You got the wrong cable.  RG58 isn't rated for microwave, it tops out at 1ghz, and even then it's losing around 21db for every 100 feet of cable, which is horrible.

    2. You're going to lose some signal with every connection, depends on the quality of the connection, and how well they're crimped.  Microwave grade cable crimps aren't cheap!  You're looking at about $100 for the crimpers, then if you're lucky you won't need to buy the dies for whatever cable you're crimping.

    3. Keep your extensions as short as possible.  The longer the coax, the more signal you'll lose, even when it's rated for whatever frequency you're using.  Best bet is use longer usb cables.

     

    Hey Barry

    thanks so much for such excellent guidance, really appreciated. You know just ONCE I would like to do something properly.  What you said all makes sense now and I have NO excuse save been a real moron.  SO my plan now is to use the 3 foot cable that came with the YAGI ( marked 3c - 2 v 50 ohm) and plug it into the Pineapple V directly ( dip switch side port) THEN run an RJ45 hard wire ( about 25 feet)  to my Dell. 

    As for the awuso36nha I'll figure that out some other day BUT certainly take your guidance to use longer USB cables.

    Hope this all seems right to you?

    thanks again you are a star.

  5. Hi all

    I have bought a Yagi antenna from Hak5, a plneapple V and a alfa awuso36nha.

    I also went to Fry's ( chicago) only place I know for RP connectors and this is all they had. I  bought :

    1 a SMA female to SMA female barrel connector

    2 a Reverse Polarity SMA Crimp Male (Plug) Connector With Female Pin product code RPA 2452p

    3 Reverse Polarity SMA Plug R/A (female pin)  product code RPA-2453P ready to be crimped.

    4 extention cable 50ohm  ( 7 feet) with rp-sma female and RP-sma male.

    5 6 feet of rg58 53.5 ohm cable no connectors

    I was hoping that it would all fit together BUT here are the RP endings for the equipment.

    Pineapple V SMA female

    Yagi SMA male

    Alpha  RP-sma female

    SO the Pineapple V connects to the YAGI perfectly ( as expected) BUT I only got about 3 feet of cable.  SO I went out and bought ( without thinking) the extension cable (4)  which doesn't help me. I can use connector 1 to hook the Yagi to the rp-sma MALE end of the extension cable but that does NOT fit the Pine V ( sma female)  or the Alpha (RP sma FEMALE).  NOW I could crimp 2 and 3 to 4 and extend the YAGI from the PineV but that would get me 13 feet of 50ohm cable and 3 adapter connections. I have no idea what that would do to the signal strength. Could someone please help me out and tell me if the extention cable is too long if I connect them together.

    ALSO is putting the YAGI onto the Alfa REALLY going to buy me anything? I live in Chicago and right now the Alpha is not doing well. I was hoping to improve it using the Yagi in a directional manner.

    ANY help would be appreciated.

  6. I am a linux noob so please don't laugh. I have ssh'd in the PineV and want to scp the bin from the linux box ( toby) to the /tmp dir on the pV  So after hunting around for how to use scp I found the following approach.

    login to toby getting ip address 100.100.100.1 (fake ip but mean one assigned by pineV)

    cd / folder where bin file is

    ssh to pineV as root

    on pineV enter

    scp toby@100.100.100.1:bin file  /tmp

    I get permission denied on port 22

    where am I going wrong? 

  7. WOW this is EXCELLENT news for me !!! I am so excited as I am going to TRY to use my PineappleV properly this time.  If I reset to factory default and then run the update from the existing web interface tile  will I get this release please OR do I have to do it via ssh?

    thanks

    The problem is no one would search for the wiki.  This has been done.  In fact there is a Pineapple wiki yet we still get tons of people asking the same basic questions about the Pineapple.  There are also stickied posts in various threads that have answers to the most common questions, and there are multiple threads with the same problems listed, yet people just create new threads without even attempting to search.  There is really no point in setting up one more wiki or one more sticky thread when they won't be used and the information is already available/searchable.

    The cli is alive and well in 2016!

    OH JOY :-) I WAS going to have this thing put into Lucite and hand it out as an annual prize BUT I don't quit that easily.  I'm going to go one more round with it using Kali (which I like) and THIS time hook up the PV properly to my linux box. I loath SSH with a vengeance BUT if that's the way of things so be it. Thanks for all your help and giving me pause for thought with this device.

  9. This is really bugging me and I wonder if I missed something. I used Linux to prep an old USB external drive (320gb) so I could dump cap files to it. I tested it out on another linux device and it mounts and tested ok. I plugged it into the Pineapple V and it seemed to be ok BUT I couldn't do anything with it. I tried to save infusions on it. put logs etc. Did I miss a step?   I looked in the logs and nothing lept out at me

    thanks for any help.

    Not all the infusions will work from the sd card, can't remember if reaver is one of them or not.  You might try installing it from the command line, "opkg install reaver".  I'd also not worry about the time zone.  None of the pineapples have a real time clock anyway, so they never have the correct time.

    thanks Barry great feedback and I was hoping to avoid the cli in 2016 :-)  I was hoping the timezone thing was my imagination but...   thanks again

  11. I have been TRYING one more time to get this PineappleV working before I re arrange it with a hammer :-)  I can't seem to get anything working on it and I would ask some guidance.

     

    1 I hard reset it back to factory default using the dip switch method.

    2 I update the os  via a wired internet connection and that seems to go well.

    3 I TRY to update the time to EST and it doesn't take. Every time I go back the time resets to the default NOT my change. SO I set it to EST exit the app and go back and it's the default again.

    4 I try to install WPS and it's dependencies are REAVER et al. I click on INSTALL TO SD ( which is still the one from HAK5) it says something about a bunny and then nothing. Reaver has a red check by it so I assume it isn't installed. I also tried to install it to internal storage same result.

    SO is this thing bricked?  I can't seem to change the time and have it take AND I CAN install infusions BUT the dependencies are not going in?  I tried to look at the infusion log but there is nothing in it? What am I doing wrong

    I guess it's personal what you like best. I started with the videos on YouTube. Some are better than others. 

    And I worked through the most videos here

    http://www.hak5.org/category/episodes/pineapple-university

     

    thanks Maxwell I will give it one more try using the University vids but they don't seem to cover the latest release of the OS NOR can I find Youtube vids that cover it.  ANYWAY I will try one more time using the vids and if not just call it a day and carry on messing around with my Raspberry Pi which is VERY satisfying :-)

    It would be too bad if you gave up!

    Fact is, the Pineapple is a complicated device (at least when you're new to it, like me). That's why it's hard to write a "nothing-can-go-wrong-my-mom-can-do-it" tutorial for it. There are just too many things that can go "wrong" when performing a mitm for example, to cover them all in a tutorial. 

    When I first received mine I thought: now let's see what fun things I can do with this. Eeeeeeh (buzzer sound). Wrong! I first spent weeks getting to know the thing. *&!a@*@

    But at every point I got stuck, if I narrowed it down to what exactely went wrong, I found other people had already asked for this in the forums. This way I worked myself through it to the point I now know what I'm doing. 

    Hey Maxwell thanks for the reply and guidance. I "think" that my question has been misintrepted here and would like to clear that up. I am more than happy to experiment with the PV BUT right now all the things I have read and tried have not seemed to work  SO I was asking

    "Which set of EXISTING instructions were the most useful when you were starting with the Pineapple V"

    I hope this is a better question that doesn't seem to be asking anyone to tailor a new approach to just me because clearly I am important :-) and should be pampered

    As you seemed to have established that existing guide(s) didn't help you, pick one and write about your experience following it. Allow others to chime in saying you took a wrong turn. Asking someone else to do a full, high-detail write-up for you to follow is the act of sucking other people's time which is why I suggest you spend your time making it as you try to get the thing to behave and allow others to correct you whenever they notice you do something off, which is much less time-draining for them.

    Which existing guide helped you the most please when you were starting up with the PV that is the real question I should have asked.

    The Pineapple is a wifi device that is by no means Kali-specific so for starters try using it with an OS you're intimately familiar with (and if that actually happens to be Kali, that's of course totally fine).

    Next, take a text editor you're comfortable with, and write down everything you do with your Pineapple. So you get a sheet like:

    1. Turn on Pineapple, wait for light combo ...
    2. Open browser, go to http://1.2.3.4:5678
    3. Enter username root, password root and click continue
    4. etc, etc, etc

    Start with reflashing the device with the latest firmware and without an SD card for now, just so we know the baseline and other people who also have a Pineapple can perform the exact same steps you are performing which should result in either a step where someone says "Hey, you're not supposed to do that like that", or someone says "Huh? I get something *WAY* different". I'm sure it sounds horrendously tedious, but the point is that, indeed, either YOU are doing something wrong or your device is defective. It's of no use to anybody when you (or anyone for that matter) to spouts off vague complains about the thing "not working" - we need a *precise* and reproducible scenario.

    It also helps when you include in the list things that surprise you. Like "I was expecting X to happen here but instead I'm seeing Y (link to screenshot or anything)".

    Hey Cooper

    gotcha on the clarity thing but this is NOT a situation where I think the machine is not working, it's me. I was asking for a tried and true set of instructions that will get me to a baseline where I should be seeing traffic logged to a file. I have reflashed the device many times AND used only Ubuntu (15 and 16). One issue is that the instructions I seem to find don't cover the latest release of the firmware. ANYWAY my point is that I don't think the device is faulty it's me and I was asking for a decent set of instructions that others say started them off on a path that worked for the PV. Thanks again for your guidance but I don't want to suck up too much of people's time doing things I can do myself.

  16. hi all

    nothing works on this device for some reason and I REALLY have followed the videos both here and on youtube. SO I am assuming that the box itself is ok and it's something "I" am doing.   What happens is that I flash with the latest OS try follow TO THE LETTER a video telling me how to get a MITM attack working and things go very wrong. Interfaces stop for no reason that I can see and I never seem to get anything that looks like a data file.

     

    SO is there a script, manual, video that others have used to get started with the Pineapple V and Kali?

    I have tried many times to get this thing doing something and each time gave in.

    ANY help would be appreciated.

  17. Hi all

    just moved and finally installed my PV ( seemingly too late as it's obsolete :-)) BUT must be doing something wrong as got issues:

    here's what I have

    1 PV with firmware 2.4.0

    2 no installed infusions

    3 connected to linux mate on old dell machine

    4 yagi antenna hooked to port nearest dip switches

    5 attached external usb HDD to usb port and mounted it at /dev/sdb1

    SO I start up dell

    connect to PV

    make sure internet is there by going to www.cnn.com

    go into recon mode

    set scan continuously

    add some ssid's to KARMA

    go into INFUSION mode

    go into PINEAP box and check everything BUT autostart

    now I thought that was it for the basics? Am I on the right track to just start logging traffic to a log file on my attached but I see nothing at all. ALSO the wlan1 keeps dropping off for some reason and I can't really see anything in the logs.

    if there is a video/cookbook on this for firmware 2.4 I would be grateful as I can't seem to find one.

    thanks

  18. just finished moving and found the Pineapple V that I have never used. SO I came here to get started and a little worried that mine is now obsolete???

    I have it:

    hooked to the web

    updated to firmware 2.4.0

    set up an external USB drive ( ext4) /dev/sdb1 to hold my logging data

    SO I was hoping to get into this pentesting world now I have settled in BUT I have no clue how to start. I looked at all the forums and they all seem to be addressing the new machines not my old one.

    1 so is my machine obsolete already ?

    2 If I want to start logging traffic around me is there a video I can watch that will get me started with MK5 karma logging so I can use wireshark to experiment?

    ANY help would be appreciated.

  19. The first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem. :smile:

    Since it's *your* network, why are you distrusting it and what can be done to remedy this? Because the alternative is to outright remove it since, after all, if you don't trust it you really shouldn't use it, and if you're not going to use it why is it even there? That's not paranoia, that's common sense. It's why I un-jailbroke (is that a word?) my iPhone last year.

    So talk to me. Where did the distrust come from and what would suffice to fix that?

    Ah, so you distrust the home network to the point where you're expecting a network elsewhere, outside of your realm of control, is safer to use. I'd be interested to learn what caused this, but the bottom line is that you should be focussing on ripping out the LAN and rebuilding it in a way that you trust it again. Also, do you want to protect the AVR from something on the LAN, protect the LAN from something on the AVR, or both?

    Indeed, that's exactly what I'm saying. You can verify this beforehand with any device that has ethernet, so any PC or laptop with an ethernet plug can do this. By default the Pineapple already has a DHCP running on the ethernet side of it so it should be a matter of plug and play.

    the distrust comes from reading the EULA that comes with any "smart" device these days. Thanks for the help I feel a little more confident now, excellent help.
