Documentation/script Updates?

[hak5name]

I have a MarkIII and now after Shmoocon a MarkIV but I notice the same mistakes and problems in both the paper documentation and the scripts on the site. Any chance we can get this fixed? Or at least use this thread to document the work-arounds?

I'll reply with each of the issues I'm seeing to keep them separate.

What exactly are you wanting to see? The wiki has lots of information Wiki

First problem - in the paper documentation the definition of the $gateway variable doesn't work for at least a couple reasons.

this is what it looks like:

$gateway='netstat -nr |ask `BEGIN {while ($3!=0.0.0.0") getline; print $2}'

I think I got the use of single quote vs. backtick right but it's hard to tell, either way there are a number of unclosed quotes, the "ask" isn't my typo, it's in the document and even when I fix most of those it still doesn't quite work.

The same line is fixed in the wp3.sh script:

netstat -nr | awk `BEGIN {while ($3!=0.0.0.0”) getline; print $2}

It would be nice to fix the paper. :)

thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean by "paper" or where this stuff is coming from. Is this stuff on the wiki itself or elsewhere?

The default wp3.sh script seems to fail on my Ubuntu 11.10 system, having gone through and edited it, below is a version that works. The main difference being the fixing the equality tests, using double quotes instead of single quotes and the addition of double quotes around the IPs being matched for later. I've had the same errors before on other debian systems. If I don't use the fixed version and try to use the default values I get this:

When you buy one either in person or get one shipped to you, there is a small flyer that comes with. It is a print-out of the quickstart instructions except it isn't as up to date as this one:

http://wifipineapple.com/doku.php?id=quick_start_guide

It appears to be the PDF you find when you search for it:

The paper refers to the actual MK3 Quick Start Guide print-out. I see the problems with it and I'll refine the documentation when the MK4 becomes available.

The problem with the mk3.sh in Ubuntu is that it begins with #!/bin/sh instead of #!/bin/bash. I'll update the version on wifipineapple.com as this fix works in both Ubuntu and BT5.

If you picked up a mk4 at Shmoocon expect hot fixes and updates on the wiki and forums soon.

Thanks for the info. I knew it was something simple to fix the wp3.sh but I couldn't remember. Just booted up my laptop to check it out.

another small one; it's worth noting for ubuntu and anything that's not backtrack (e.g. running as root) you need to run wp3.sh with sudo.

It is a really minor thing but worth fixing.

[Mr-Protocol]

I think that is intentional as best security/scripting practices. Maybe a prompt or error to run with root is needed (if one isn't given from errors already).

Thanks! They're wonderful devices.
