    WiFi - Steps for clients to connect

    in WiFi Pineapple TETRA

    Posted

    I see questions from people who do not understand how open authentication works for WiFi.  Hopefully the steps below can help address some of the questions and serve as a small tutorial.

    There are 3 parts of the process for a client to connect and transmit data on a wireless network.  They are the probe stage, Authentication stage and Association stage.  In documentation the client is the station or STA for short.  The access point is AP.

            PROBE STAGE
    STA --- Probe Request --> AP
    STA <-- Probe Reponse --- AP
            AUTHENTICATION STAGE
    STA --- Authentication Request --> AP
    STA <-- Authentication Process --> AP
    STA <-- Authentication Response --- AP
            ASSOCIATION STAGE
    STA --- Association Request --> AP
    STA <-- Association Response --- AP


    Probe
    1.1 STA sends a probe on all channels to find the AP (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff)
    1.2 APs in range answer the probe request
    Authentication
    2.1 STA authenticates to the AP - the strongest signal wins
    2.2 Authentication process takes place
    2.3 AP sends a response to the authentication (success or failure)
    Association
    3.1 STA sends association request
    3.2 AP sends association response
    3.3 STA now has communication ability with network

    Data exchanges do not happen until this entire process completes
     

    I hope this can help some people

    I am no sure of your depth of understanding of wireless, but there are also a series of free WiFi videos available online at: http://www.securitytube.net/groups?operation=view&groupId=9.  The videos are good and will help you to understand WiFi workings, security and tools.  Without a solid understanding of wireless using a pineapple can be frustrating.  Once yo understand tools available and wireless, reading the description and purpose of the modules is easier to understand, implement and troubleshoot.

    Good luck.

    PineAP help

    in WiFi Pineapple TETRA

    Posted

    You don't use PineAP - PineAP is for use with open networks, not WPA/WEP/WPA2 networks.  If PineAP impersonates a network you have in your PNL that is WPA, it will advertise it as an open network.   As the other guy said use aircrack-ng.  It would be easier to use a Kali instance with an Alpha card using the aircrack-ng suite.

    Overloaded Tetra

    in WiFi Pineapple TETRA

    Posted

    The other day I was doing a technical demo at a large gathering in a large dense packed city and was using a Tetra for part of it.  On setup day the Tetra worked great, I had people connecting into the pineapple and it worked great.  On the demonstration day, there were a couple of hundred people in the room, the Tetra could not keep up and stopped collecting SSID's.  The scan function worked well, but PineAP did not work.

    Anyone else try to use a pineapple in a large densely attended area?

    Hi Jsync:

    In my case I have both and use both, but I am becoming vey fond of the Tetra.  I like the tactical option because it gives you all the extra gear plus the backpack which I really like.  The book is helpful if you are new.  That said, if you research the forums and have a good Wi-Fi base you can get by without it.   You will need an Internet connection to provide connectivity to clients and you need a source to connect and configure.  I use both Linux and Windows without any issues, never used a phone.

    The Tetra is very powerful and does both 2.4 and 5 frequencies.  The Nano is smaller and only does 2.4

    One last word of caution to set your expectations.    You will need Wi-Fi understanding to use the Pineapple, it is not as easy as plug it in and own everything.   It seems there are people who buy a pineapple and have unrealistic expectations.

    Good luck,

    Jim

    Tetra vs. Nano Results

    in WiFi Pineapple TETRA

    Posted

    I have both the Tetra and Nano and have been using them for quite a while.  I am now running current firmware and modules on both.  I am finding that the modules and results are much better on the Tetra than the Nano.  Anyone else have this experience?

    Albert:

    How are you connecting to the Pineapple? If you are using Windows make sure the IP of the ethernet to the pineapple is "172.16.42.42 and 255.255.255.0". Your Internet device on your laptop must be set to sharing.

    If you are using LINUX download and run the wp6.sh script - it works great. I had success with both LINUX (Kali) and Windows.

    How does NANO Determine deauth ability

    in WiFi Pineapple NANO

    Posted

    Hi thanks for the replies - let me clarify.

    I see and AP with associated clients and it does not have the "dauth" option for it. If I run this at home it sees my home network that my PC connects through, but all the others in the vicinity do not have the "deauth" option. If you notice (and based on Darren's video), when there is an AP with associated client you can "deauth" the AP and all it's clients from the option on the AP. In my list I do not have that option for anything but my home network.

    Is there a command I can run from the command line that checks the bulletins, etc? I tried pings and nslookup – no luck.

    I am missing something simple here – any ideas?

    Thanks,

    If we are not developers but want to help vet code and hang with the cool kids on the bleeding edge, we really loose nothing by buying now. Or put another way, we don't gain anything but waiting to but until its certified. Thanks - I'll stop pestering with questions. I am really excited about playing with the NANO.

    Darrin:

    The Mark V will no longer be sold, is that correct. The future direction is the NANO and will become the pineapple current standard? Based on the previous posts still will work with windows and buying the development version should be no different than the version that will be certified at some time in the future.

    Do I have the above correct?
