thegrenade Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hey all, I am going to be building a Pineapple for an information systems security class. Just want to see if there are any other hardware components I need for the build. Just started browsing some tutorials this afternoon. Alfa AP51 AP http://www.data-alliance.net/-strse-588/ALFA-AP51-The-AP-fdsh-Client-fdsh-Router-fdsh-WISP-fdsh-Repeater/Detail.bok Alfa AP51 PCB http://www.data-alliance.net/-strse-594/AP51-PCB-802.11b-fdsh-g-High-dsh-Power/Detail.bok# Am I missing anything? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch! :) TheGr3n4d3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 You can use either the AP51 AP or just the PCB. I don't think the PCB comes with a power adapter and antenna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't need any other hardware other than the AP51 AP if I am understanding you correctly? AC adaptor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 After that you only need a hak5 pineapple sticker Or a little Krylon Fusion. Not as sexy as this, but it works! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 No fan mod? Oh man that is going to heat up really bad stuck to the back of the monitor. May not be ideal for your screen lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry99705 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I've not had any problems with heat, ever. Besides, if you look at your own and turn it the way I have mine on the screen, you'll see the vents end up being on top and bottom. Natural convection will pull heat out the top and pull in cooler air from the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yes but I still dont think it's enough circulation in my opinion. The fan took it from 130F to 90F after 3 hours of stress test. I can't deny those results. But whatever works for you, just making a suggestion. Would be interested in your temps after 3 hours of running it like that.

csystem Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yes but I still dont think it's enough circulation in my opinion. The fan took it from 130F to 90F after 3 hours of stress test. Mr Protocol is correct however I know the actual temp of the 2315 chip is higher still, unless you add a heatsink. The foam tape the mfr placed on the chip below the RF shield to conduct heat is very inadequate, imho. Then again, with the new firmware for the 7240 routers (om2p) coming???? its not all a big issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 What new firmware? You mean for the AP51/OM1P? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Okay, so last night I set everything up, and had one of me laptops associate to "bobs free wifi", then fired up utorrent. It's been downloading and uploading BackTrack 5.1 VM for 9 hours now. It's warm, but not any hotter than any other access point I've had doing the same work. I'll pick up an ir temperature meter today, been wanting to get one for a while now. :D Also, some kid that goes to school around here is very lucky. One of the associations was a freaking Wii! Nothing showed up in the url snarfer for it, so it had to be in a car that passed by. Also seen an android phone, crackberry and iPod.

csystem Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) What new firmware? You mean for the AP51/OM1P? Seb will be testing soon for OM2P. (802.11n) Different SoC, 7240 I think, also uses U-boot instead of Redboot. I was not referring to the current 2.01.

Mr-Protocol Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Ok, I actually have a beta version of 2.2 firmware which I'm bug hunting currently. Stay tuned :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 119F! Not too terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 119F! Not too terrible. After how long? That is too hot imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 After how long? That is too hot imo. Probably about 10 hours of streaming a backtrack torrent. Only way I could think of keeping a constant traffic flow over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Fine... I'll follow the rest. :P It's actually a 12v fan off an old ass ATI !AGP! video card. It's connected directly to the power in port, so I opted for the 12v because I figured it wouldn't cook the fan if I plug it into the adapter that comes with the access point.

Mr-Protocol Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Very nice :P what was the clearance under the fan to the RF shield? Hopefully enough for air flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Very nice :P what was the clearance under the fan to the RF shield? Hopefully enough for air flow. About an eighth inch, should be enough. My firewall box had a drive meltdown this afternoon, so I haven't had a chance to test it out fully.

Mr-Protocol Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Eh... not sure if 1/8th inch will help much but test and let me know results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry99705 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Eh... not sure if 1/8th inch will help much but test and let me know results? I figure any extra air flow will help. Might open up the side vents a bit though. I need to find a better way to simulate traffic over it though. My torrent of BT5R1 downloaded in 30 minutes... Damn you fast internet!! :D Still, it only got up to 89F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 That is much better temps. But if you get a fan too close to a surface it just wont work properly. If you stick your hand close to the back of your case fan you can kind of see what i'm talking about. But 89F is where mine was at so cheers.

Oh, there's probably a good quarter inch from the bottom of the blades to the shield, the motor housing is an eighth inch away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello barry99705 Is that the AIP-W502U. Cool fan mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
