Possible bricked pineapple?

Hello,

I recently purchased a wifi pineapple off of hak5's shop. I was setup and on the web interface and after installing a few infusions and testing out urlsnarf. I attempted to connect a freshly ext4 formatted usb drive to the pineapple. At that point it began to stop responding. I could no longer ping the device on 172.16.42.1, and when attempting to refresh wired connection as I normally had over the PoE/lan port, I was unable to get a valid address. When using a static ip of 172.16.42.x I was also unable to ping or connect to device using wp4.sh as per instructions.

At that point I tried the reset switch on the back figuring that flashing back to defaults should allow me to get back onto the device. I am still no longer able to get any interface or even ping the device through any port. I also cannot connect to the device's wireless ap that is open with any of my wireless devices, it just refuses to give out an ip, and even with a static assigned ip I have no connectivity to the devices address I assume to be 172.16.42.1. The wps light was flashing rapidly after I pressed the reset button but is now back to solid.

Any help? I do not have a usb to uart device and really don't want to have to buy something else just to use my wifi-pineapple :(. I have also tried the standard 30-30-30 reset I am used to with ddwrt/etc, to no avail.

Thanks in advance,

Andy

Hey Andy, welcome to the forums!

First of all, 30-30-30 reset does nothing on our firmware. The correct way to do it is to boot up your pineapple (wait until the WPS light stops flashing) and then press the button for 5-10 seconds.

Anyway, in regards to your issue. Do you know what firmware version you are / were on?

Either way, make sure to unplug the USB from the pineapple. Power on your pineapple and wait until the WPS light is solid. Then try to SSH in. I ask because you don't state that you tried this. If you have, we need to debug it by other means.

I have pressed the reset button for approx 10 seconds rebooted the pineapple, waited until the wps button stops flashing after reboot. Then plugged into PoE/Lan port with laptop and assigned myself ip 172.16.42.42, (if I wait for dhcp as was working initially I never get an address assigned), and attempted to ping and ssh with no luck. Below is the output on console relevant to connecting that I am aware of, I also have cleared my iptables just to be sure I wasn't blocking anything.

What should I try different?

ok, small update. I am able to temporarily get an ssh connection to begin with the device during boot with the wps light still blinking. However as soon as it goes solid, I am no longer able to ping or ssh to the device.

below is a pastebin of pinging the device while it reboots. I also attempted to ssh to it but it froze when it completed reboot.

not really sure why I can't get the device to reset to a proper state again. :(

I am running in to exactly the same problem. The thing that really worries me is that this topic was unanswered since January...

I am considering sending back eveything to the HakShop now, since it appears that there is no solution to this problem.
