Wps Button - Random Mac Address & Ssid

[g0tmi1k]

Just a little script to change the SSID and MAC address of the device (to make it look like a new AP on demand) at a push of a button ;)

Either paste it into the WebUI or

scp wpsScript.sh root@<ip>:/www/pineapple/config/wpsScript.sh[/CODE]

Tested on Firmware v2.2

[i]p.s. I've also got got the random MAC address part in the start up script (/etc/rc.local) :) [/i]

[CODE]
#!/bin/sh
# This user script is provided for custom actions and can be added to crontab or run directly from the advanced page by entering "/www/pineapple/scripts/user.sh" and pressing "Execute Commands"

#New SSID####################################################################
# Generates a random number
rand=`head /dev/urandom | tr -dc "123456" | head -c1` # echo $(awk 'BEGIN{srand();print int(rand()*5)}')

# Pre-defined SSIDs & chooses one at random
ssid=`echo "linksys NETGEAR BTHomeHub-1337 BTHomeHub2-1337 virginmedia1337XYZ SKY31337" | awk -v x=$rand '{print $x}'`

# Feed back to the user (un-needed - just handy for debugging)
echo "Now changing SSID to: $ssid"

# Persistent WiFi SSID
#echo $(sed 's/option ssid.*/option ssid "$ssid"/g' /etc/config/wireless) > /etc/config/wireless

# Changes current SSID to match
hostapd_cli -p /var/run/hostapd-phy0 karma_change_ssid "$ssid"

wow cool, does changing the mac really work? because it didn't in the past.

would cause karma to not work or would go back to the original mac.

I have it working - will be in the next version.

Where is it? I have 2.5.0 and I dont see it.

Yeah, sorry about that. We do have a huge backlog of features that are waiting to be put in.

This is definitely on the list.

[dustbyter]

Seb is the list of features requested and what will make it in the next release published somewhere?

I guess what I'm asking for is there a release plan documented of the features to add in each release of the firmware?

2.5.0

feature a

feature b

feature c

...

feature n

2.5.1

feature x

feature y

etc.

Yes. In my head..

But no, there is a kind of list but it is not public.

The reason why I haven't published my full todo list is because it adds more time pressure.

However, a release plan may be a good idea. We have some cool stuff coming. I'll write one up later today.

Best Regards,

Hey,

Just something I have experienced; It worked, though now I am locked out. What I did was paste the macchanger script into rc.local, before exit0 (with the comments out of it...). The mac has indeed changed, by looking at airodump.

The thing is I was unable to get an IP of it, so I thought of the reset button.

Now the wifi pineapple's SSID is pineapple xx:xx (last 4 of the mac adress), though the mac adress still is not the original.

Using firmware 2.5.0.

Thanks in advance,

Vlek007.

any update on this? after reading everything on these forums i haven't found anything that allows for macchanger + karma to work properly. after running "wifi" command mac goes back to the original address. did i miss something?

commented out "option macaddr ..." in /etc/config/wireless

ifconfig wlan0 down

macchanger -r wlan0

ifconfig wlan0 up

(launching karma here doesn't work)

wifi

(resets mac address, but karma works)

trying to get around some wids/wips alarms, thanks.

Yes, thanks for the reminder. I need to add that in. It will not hit the next stable release but the one shortly after.
