How Does The Wifi Pineapple Work

[spymare]

Hi. I am new to all this, I might be doing something wrong, but is this not how the wifi pineapple should work?:

I turned on karma:

Now I have setup an access point called AndroidAP, So I Connect to AndroidAP, and check the box "Connect Automaticlly"

Now I shutdown my computer, and I also shutdown my access point "AndroidAP"

Now I guess what should happens:

The router is looking for AndroidAP, but can't find it, instead "internet" the wifi pineapple, should say, I can get you ON!

AM i totally wrong or?

instead when I restart my computer, it just shows all connections, and does not connect to "internet" the wifi pineapple.

You need to set your open non encrypted wifi to auto connect. And the "router" does not look for wifi, it responds to beacons made by your device. Please watch the videos on the hakshop page of pineapple to get a better understanding.

sorry im such a noob :)

it actually does work, it spoofs the ssid name, I though you could see it would connect to the pineapple called "internet" but it fakes the ssid :)

I want to setup dns spoofing, will i need internet sharing/access for that?

as default it says: 172.16.42.1 example.com

but nothing happens when i go to example.com, I guess it's because I haven't setup internet on the pineapple, so it can't find any dns server?

If you're DNS spoofing a domain to the pineapple IP then Internet Connection Sharing isn't necessary. See the DNS Spoof guide at wifipineapple.com
