Well share the wealth.... lol

Well after receiving the device I tried to change the tx-power to 30 using the BO and still doesn't work. I tried BZ and VE it did change it but I was not able to pick up any AP sites. Guess it doesn't work or I'm doing something wrong...

If the employee was on vpn there should be some kind of log fine when he/she connected to the corp network. That should be able to help you to determine if they used the vpn or not.

oh okay then I guess I will get one right now... Thanks for the feedback.

Good Afternoon, I was wondering if someone might be able to help me out. I tried searching for the answer before but couldn't get what i was looking for. I'm in the process of purchasing the ALFA USB WIFI AWUS036NEH from the shop. What I'm trying to find out is would this device be able to change the tx-power from 20db to 30dbm? Thanks in advance.

I found my issue after looking around some more. Someone had the same problem, i guess I had a very old version of the firmware. I was about to scp the file and extract .. it's rebooting now so we will see if that fix the issue. Here's the link to the thread and site .

Hello all, Well I tried to search before posting but I need someone help. One of my co-works bought a pineapple mark V. Since he's a tech and always buying gadgets he forgot about this one. He didn't want it so he gave it to me. I was very excited to play with it. Everything was still in the bad like brand NEW... after reading the instruction on how to connect it and upgrade the software I'm running into some trouble. Since I'm on a mac i can't connect the ethernet cable to the pineapple. I turn on the device and connected it using the wifi. I setup the password and was able to get into the interface. I then this video on how to setup it up from Darrel . Tutorial: Unboxing and Upgrading WiFi Pineapple Mark V - Pineapple University I was able to join my network just find. I have the red,blue, and green light on. I'm even using my wifi right now while typing this through the pineapple. When I tried to do a firmware update I keep getting "Error connecting. Please check your WiFi Pineapple's internet connection." how's that possible since I'm using the wifi from it. I tried everything and still nothing is working on updating it. Am i doing something wrong or do i need to change something since it's a older model? Any kind of help would be awesome! Thank you,

Well I just got mine this week and plan to play around with it. I also have a mac without any ethernet card slot. I was planning to connect to it wifi. The only thing i'm confuse about is once I configure the pineapple how do I get it online? I really don't want to connect it to my network at home, would I have to buy a wifi adapter and connect that way? I'm really interested in trying it this way. that way at work i just join the the office public network and let the pineapple sit there and see who connects to it. That way the clients still have internet access. Is that something that might work? i'm just doing this for education purpose only not for anything evil..

thank for sharing...I like the FPV video explaing how they work. I wish I was able to boost the yagi antena i bought from hak5 to work better around trees or around houses.. I do get some ap but would like to get more at a longer distant.

So did anything become of this topic? Are there going to be more tut out on the wiki site or are their users on here that have their own tut they like to share with other members?

so you're telling me I should just load sslstrip on the pine from the pineapple site, and play with it. see how it works, and them move on from there?

how about a tut.. on sslstrip how it work and how to install it.

that's pretty cool. I will have to try an install it once it comes out.

@telot see that's what we need tut like that. I know since i'm new to this whole pineapple thing I still have to learn how to run sslstrip and what it does, how it work...

I agree with you that the dev are to busy on coming up tut's. I know they do a great job on keeping the updates coming out with different things. You're right going to basic and moving forward from there. But someone like myself that just received his pineapple a month ago was to learn how to configure it and be able to get internet access on it. that's all nice but now what's next or what do I do? We could go and on about this subject but will anyone start it? that's the question for us.

I was looking over the wiki, but I don't see any howto's and stuff. the only thing I see are the basic if your pineapple turns into a brick or how to upgrade it. those are nice but would be nice for other howto's.. If I had the knowledge on how the pineapple worked I would write it down for other users. Even if i couldn't do it on the wiki i would create a blog or something for users. But that's just me.

yes that's a great idea on how buidling "Howto" on all the differnet things the pineapple could do. All the different modules , how they work, how to connect using T-mobil connection things like that would be great for new users like myself to learn.

Sweet... I'm heading out this week to get one... Can't wait to play around with it. I might have some questions once I connect it how it works and how I remote into it with ssh or something.

I found this one on their site. http://www.walmart.com/ip/T-Mobile-4G-Laptop-Stick/20976916 Doesn't really tell me what model number it might be.

Oh really well I will have to take a walk down to walmart and buy one... is it easy to configure the device for the pre-paid and to configure it on the pineapple?

Hello All, Quick question... I know in some of Darrens videos he talks about buying a t-mobile device to use with the pineapple for the net. Would this be what he is talking about ? http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/cell-phone-detail.aspx?cell-phone=T-mobile-Rocket-3.0-4G-Laptop-Stick

Well i have both the usb and the serial connection. I haven't tried the usb one yet thank good. I only have tried the serial one and that one works perfect when i first screw my pineapple. hahahah

Trust me I'm new to the pineapple and this whole thing. the flash took me about 15 mins. Everything has been working fine now. Good luck

That's what I'm trying to understand myself too how to manage the pineapple when it's remote. I have some what of an idea but not sure. A good tutorial or example video would be good.

Are you able to see the SSID broadcasting? are you able to ping the device? did you check your network setting?
