bismark Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Pineapple Hardware Version: Mark IV Pineapple Software Version: 2.3.1 OS Used: Ultimately none, otherwise OS X & Backtrack So I'm poking around the innards (software) of the Wifi and I have a few questions. What is the difference/benefit of the /www/pineapple/ssh/ AutoSSH connection script versus the built in one under /etc/init.d/autossh & /etc/config/autossh? Has anyone gotten the Ting 598U microsd storage to work reliably? I saw the post about mounting /dev/sda twice and then it would see it. I've found however that even it if sees it initially it will eventually disappear and then not come back until a reboot of the Pineapple. Network setup. Was looking to setup the WLAN (Karma) and LAN ports as pass through from the network connection given to the WAN. Basically bridging the connection and becoming a passthrough AP for the target network. Then using the 3G modem as the egress point for AutoSSH. Possible with the current hardware?

The UI gives you a nice way to set it all up and create a persistent connection. Just makes it simple and easy for the user. 2. Sorry, I don't have it to try it out. WhistleMaster knows more about that modem. 3. All possible with the hardware, it just requires editing of routes and IPtables.

If you're a whizz with IPTABLES and get this done successfully, please share your results on this forum bismark - this is something thats been on a lot of peoples wish lists for a while now.

We've got a few iptables wizards around here, so if you have any questions, please feel free! telot So far I have it sort of working without IPTABLES at all. Part of my issue is figuring out the format of the /etc/config/network. I can get it to bring up the default bridge (br-lan) on LAN/PoE and add wlan0 to it automatically but I have to manually add WAN (eth1) config interface 'loopback' option ifname 'lo' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '127.0.0.1' option netmask '255.0.0.0' config interface 'lan' option ifname 'eth0' option type 'bridge' config interface 'wan' option ifname 'eth1' config switch 'eth0' option enable_vlan '1' config switch_vlan option device 'eth0' option vlan '1' option ports '0 1 2' Once the Pineapple starts up I then do the following # brctl addif br-lan eth1 Which gives me the following # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br-lan 8000.00c0ca632d08 no wlan0 eth0 eth1 # ifconfig br-lan Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:CA:63:2D:08 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:15150 errors:0 dropped:1146 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:129 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1651368 (1.5 MiB) TX bytes:14055 (13.7 KiB) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:CA:63:2D:09 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:15440 errors:0 dropped:30 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:157 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1956748 (1.8 MiB) TX bytes:17702 (17.2 KiB) Interrupt:5 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:CA:63:2D:08 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:288 errors:0 dropped:9 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:980 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:85937 (83.9 KiB) TX bytes:145669 (142.2 KiB) Interrupt:4 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:73 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:73 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3946 (3.8 KiB) TX bytes:3946 (3.8 KiB) mon.wlan0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-C0-CA-63-2D-0A-00-48-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:31772 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:32 RX bytes:5070294 (4.8 MiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:CA:63:2D:0A UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:938 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:32 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:162034 (158.2 KiB) # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface I'm connecting through the USB serial so there is no IP on the device as of right now (routing table blank). I connect a laptop up to the WAN port and it gets a DHCP lease just fine and can browse/ssh/apt-get/etc. just fine. My switch also doesn't notice the Pineapple as I have the basic NAC enabled on the port locked to the laptop's MAC address. Score! I have the firewall disabled and only ip_forwarding enabled. Next is trying to get the 3G modem to work, which the device itself (Ting's Sierra Wireless 598U) is giving me headaches as it's there then it's not. When it is there even though I have set the /www/pineapple/3g/3g.sh and /etc/config/network to NOT replace the default route it still becomes the default route and all traffic then goes through it... DOH. I need to figure out how to get the 3G modem handle only 1 or 2 ip addresses and then everything else just gets tossed at the bridge.

condor Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I need to figure out how to get the 3G modem handle only 1 or 2 ip addresses and then everything else just gets tossed at the bridge. What about only allowing the ssh traffic, as I think you only want to use that connection(the 3g) for remote monitoring/administration thru autossh, right? This has been my goal since I very first got the thing back in early march. I've even been through the troubles the the 598u. I switched to the tmobile ZTE mf591 because I can reliably deal with the sdCard. Achieving our goal would make it the ultimate drop-box...

Interesting, considering I'm using the wallwart right now for testing and I'm having problems with it.

Yes this is exactly what I want, I do not want any targets data going across the 3G link, I only want it going across the bridge and out eth0 (which hopefully would be plugged into a PoE port, say inline with an IP phone). You bag setup looks awesome. I was planning on putting mine into a Pelican box or such but that bag is nice.

Molotof Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 From the log it shows that the pineapple is trying bring up the modem but the modem is making a fuss about it because the pineapple is not able to give it the required amperage to power up it's radio. what else do you have connected to the usb port on the pineapple?

I have a 4 port usb "hub", actually I think it's this one specifically. Alone with the modem is a Sandisk Cruzer Fit 16GB, I was going to go with the 32GB but saw everyone using the 16GB and opted for it not knowing if there was an issue with the 32GB version.

Are you taking power from that battery pack in your picture? Might I request a labeled picture so I can understand how you have that nice bag setup? I'll try a powered USB hub tomorrow to see if that is the issue, it might be but I do know when I had the modem plugged straight into the Pineapple it was giving me troubles.

I have my setup detailed in this thread, if the modem plugged in straight to the pineapple and it was giving you troubles thats a sign of the modem needing more amperage than the pineapple can provide.

THAT is for sure the one i was lucky with, as i ordered more stuff from hak5 and got the spyder usb hub too and it was nothing but trouble, so i went back to my trusty belkin and started building from there.
