hi,
i have recently purchased a WiFi Pineapple Tetra from hak5 shop. After setting it up (and flashing the latest firmware) I started trying it out. I gotta say that I am neither a professional it guy, nor a hacker - I merely wanted to mess around to see how secure my personal wifi at home is. So maybe this is totally on me and has nothing todo with the pineapple's setup and/or configuration... but anyway:
At first I connected the pineapple to my macbook. After several attempts to share the internet connection, I gave up and connected it to a laptop running the latest kali. Internet sharing works (or rather, used to work, but that is not the problem here), so I went on.
When I start running PineAP or (plugin) Site Survey, the device reboots after a while (meaning within less than 20 minutes). Each and every time. I followed some of dks video tutorials meticulously, so there should be no error at my part. I also re-flashed the latest firmware in order to make up for possible configuration errors. Still, whenever I work with the pineapple, reboots happen. The interface does not notify me of this and simply stops responding after a while; when reloading, I have to login again and can work for another 15 minutes or so.
Unfortunately, there was no EU compatible plug included, so I am exclusively running the pineapple via USB on my notebook or with the powerpack included in the package deal. So this should not be a problem wrong currents or anything like this either.
Since I live in Germany, I didn't just want to return the device because of high shipping fees. Maybe this problem can be solved with your help... I really hope so and appreciate every input.
Cheers =)
