Thank you! I hope you get paid extra for putting up with idiots like me. I appreciate you taking the time.

Thanks, that is a big help....and to turn back off?

So if red or blue are on and active, RF is on? And if they aren't on, RF is off? And if RF is off, how to turn it on and if on, how to turn it off? The book is quite good but doesn't go into the level of detail that I would like to se...

Does anyone know if there is anything simple inside that I could use to tell if WiFi is on or off? I'm looking at situation where I absolutely, positively cannot do any emissions. Was thinking perhaps hooking a small LED indicator. The display LEDs seem to have a mind of their own..

Just my two cents, the WN722N has an RP SMA. Hooking a 15dbi yagi to it...need to get out and away from clutter...

Thank you! Ideally, an editor would let you read from any source...but, you are correct, the disk editor is the direction I need to go...at lesat for now. Thanks for the response!

I did a search for a hex editor but surprisingly, didn't find anything listed...I think it is operator error4 and I apologize if I f'd up. I want to be able to read the files on a disk, thumb drive, etc. I'd like to be able to massage the MBR in Windows....way back in the dark ages some guys writing security software for PCs for the government where I was at gave me a debug routine to fix the MBR that they had massaged. I was doing computer repair back in those days....but a lot of beer washed away all those brain cells. Once DOS 5.0 came out with fdisk /mbr, the software was obsolete. but, I would like to be able to see those first bits that are read...I have hexedit for windows...but, haven't gotten in to it. Will check to see if there is one for Ubuntu...thought I would ask for those more intelligent than I (every user on here)

Actually not bad....just about same as i was getting with a smaller, gasoline fueled truck (14L/100). Tank isn't as big as I would like (27 gallons US, 102 Liters) but gives about 400 miles (close to 645 kilometers). I had to look up conversions but they are close. The 17L/100 is about what the gas engine gets in an F-250. Not sure where you are...I've been in Stuttgart, DE...I sure would not want me truck there...SMART car makes much more sense.

Kinda like my ham radio handhelds....my Kenwood has one style, the Baofeng has the other. For all I know, they are made on the same manufacturing line in China. Just another little bump in the road...

I'm only large in the girth...5'10 and 230...used to look like Charles Atlas (if anyone is old enough to remember him), barrel chest, 6 pack abs. Too many 6 packs, chest sank to stomach. A lot of big guys had those itty bitty VW pickups. I love my truck...will be the last one I own.

That adapter has the darn RP connector on it...I'm learning all about RP and standard SMA connectors the hard way....

My name is Tim Tapio Favorite game: Not a gamer but did just purchase a PS4 with several Black Ops that I am clueless to play. I picked up Farming Simulator though, hopefully that will be something I can handle. Minecraft was a bit beyond me as well (I went to a small school) Favorite OS: DOS 5.0 or Win 95, working on Ubuntu and Kali though, do I get points for that? Putting Kali on a Raspberry Pi, Black Arch also... Favorite console: PS4 because that is what I have.

Need to lift it...on 3rd or 4th childhood. Have no use for it...however, I love it. Occupation: Retired and on a relentless quest for knowledge. Studying cyber security/penetration testing. Currently reading TCP/IP Illustrated (I restart every other day and it's always new material), Cisco ICND-102 (first half of CCNA), Network+, Security+, setting up a Cisco lab...got a couple switches, couple routers. Scored a couple cable box/routers, adding in the aforementioned Raspberry Pi systems, once I have SSH enabled in the Cisco boxes, and the Pi's, will be trying to figure out SSH. Working on learning Ubuntu, got my Pineapple Tetra, want to play some in-house wifi tinkering...have a couple "hidden" APs in the neighborhood that I wish to learn a bit more about. Have a yagi with 15 dbi gain that I want to hook to Tetra to make it very directional (once I get SMA and SMA RP straight in my head)...might purchase a second, common mast....give me 18 dbi (strange how db works, would think get 30 db, also, only a doubling...so 3 db. I think I'm rambling...way too early to be up...

I guess this should sere as a fair warning for those that it might apply to... https://www.hackread.com/hackers-can-identify-if-you-are-using-sex-toys-and-exploit-them/ Damn, who thinks of those things?

Thank you...done. I'm still new here...

Sorry...lack of attention to detail...

So sad to hear of the passing of Kerby...after so many years, I know how it feels. And Kerby loved to be on camera.... Darren, you have my greatest sympathy...

I'm not really doing "fox and hound" although that is an interesting idea. I live in a subdivision and with the Tetra, have discovered several "hidden" access points. I have a small,15 dbi gain yagi for 2.4ghz and wanted to be able to find out in which direction they are, then monitor then passively. I wanted to focus only on those without others also coming in to the system. If two antennas feed the same receiver, I am considering purchasing a second yagi. Also, some of these are not a real strong signal and the gain would be an added benefit. I'm a ham radio guy and have antennas outside. A couple small ones on a TV rotor won't attract any undue attention if I want to do that. Some really good coax and I wouldn't lose a lot of signal (that means no RG-58). However, that "fox and hound" is an interesting thought, I plan on doing that with a 2 meter system, trying to get some local hams involved. I ordered the dongle you listed...and could actually use it with Kali and perhaps get what I'm looking for without using the Tetra...but, the Tetra seems to have considerable gain over a standard wifi setup. Thanks for the comment and the idea.

I don't want diversity for this application, I need focused directivity......I'm looking for an AP which right now, I have to rely on signal strength. Thanks for comments and link to Pasternack. BTW...watching YouTube and Darren was fondling a 2.4 ghz yagi just like the one i have...the show was on antennas...but still looking for the follow on to see what he did with it.

Oh crap...didn't read your whole post (selective reading?) so two receivers....I assume a receiver on each end then...question still remains, how to disable an omni antenna...

So the RF is actually 4 separate receivers? How do they combine signals? It doesn't matter in the big scheme of things...but I have a 2.4 ghz yagi...and looking at one for 5 ghz...so I could leave two of the omni antennas on and have the directionals on...but what are the other two then doing? Is there a means to turn them off? Take off antennas? Turn them from vertical to horizontal for the polarization rejection?

I'm also a new kid on the block with a Tetra....I'll be interested to see if you find anything in a chromebook....I'm sure there is... I have a friend that has one and figures he is safe...people are so naive (I must admit, I was too) but I am totally amazed at what you can buy "off the shelf" as far as books, or download tutorials/books/software that will tell you step by step how to hack something or someone...

I don't understand how the RF portion works...4 antennas, does that equate to 4 receivers? If I want to use a directional antenna, do I need to have one on each antenna port? Just need a bit of basic info. I plan on using Kali on a Raspberry Pi to interface, then SSH into either the Pi or the Pineapple (I'm a neophyte so not a guru on SSH). Thanks for all comments.
