@sud0nick oh that is an interesting thought I had not considered... I'll have to give that a try, thanks for the suggestion. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do in monitor mode and wireshark to observe the 4-way handshake (does that even happen with Open security mode) to figure out what exactly breaking down?

@fringes, it does - but there's a site that you can go to to register a headless device to bypass the captive portal. You have to authenticate to register a MAC address, at which point it's supposed to just work...

Hey all, I am the proud owner of a WiFi Pineapple Mark V. I haven't had the pleasure of using it very much yet. I have some embedded Wi-Fi hardware (based on a CC3000) that is having trouble connecting to an (open-access) university network. It just hangs on trying to connect and then eventually times out.Could the Wi-Fi Pinapple be useful in helping me get diagnose, or at least gain insight into, why my device is failing to connect? I was thinking it might be able to observe probes and beacons and tell me when/why things are falling apart in the connection. If that's possible, I'd be most appreciative on some guidance / direction as to how to use the fruit to achieve this goal.
