Digitalia Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) After fixing the sslstrip issue by removing and re-installed twisted-web using opkg, karma won't seem to start. It actually worked until I restarted the pineapple. Not sure what I can do to give you guys any diagnostic messages in order to pinpoint the issue. Any pointers? Edit: so trying to run /etc/init.d/karma start returns the following error: "Failed to connect to hostapd - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory" Attempting to reinstall hostapd doesn't fix the issue.

jjd Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) having the same issue. when I got my pineapple and first booted it client mode worked fine even on wpa2 and Karma worked. after trying sslstrip everything stopped working. I did a reset system defaults and now starting client mode it says not connected refreshing in 10 seconds but if i close that window and click show public ip on the network box it does have one and i can use the bar, and if i try to start karma i get the same error "Failed to connect to hostapd - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory" UPDATE after a bit more playing I figure that I can start karma as long as it's the first thing I do after a reset but if i bring up the other wlan or try client mode I can no longer start karma Edited October 22, 2013 by jjd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalia Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I just did a system restore, reinstalled twisted-web to get sslstrip working, and now everything seems to work fine. Just very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjd Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 very! I have yet to get it back up and working it seems i can have karma or internet but not both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalia Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I haven't tried to use the client mode on wlan1 yet, but I'm using masquerade in linux via my eth0 on my laptop to get internet. Works like a boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjd Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) ya ill give it a try with ics from my laptop. Ive just been playing with client mode as I can see that being very useful in the field the weird part is client mode seems to work in that it connect gets an ip and gives the system internet as well as my laptop on eth0 but the web ui does not seem to know it works... the only evidence is show public ip Edited October 22, 2013 by jjd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levisiccard Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 hey guys, how do you install twisted web?..Putty?SCP? would be gratefull with a small tutorial i'm also experiencing the karma issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalia Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) SSH into the pineapple (putty will work). Login opkg remove twisted-web opkg install twisted-web Then you should test to make sure it works by using python (or just trying to run something like sslstrip) python >> import twisted.web if it does so without exceptions, twisted web is installed. However, if karma won't start, you may have another issue altogether. While ssh'd in, try this /etc/init.d/karma start See what the error is.

jjd Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) you may have to do: opkg update first if it says cant find twisted-web package when you try to install Edited October 22, 2013 by jjd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirecutter Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Seeing a similar issues with Karma not starting When I try to start it from the command line I get: root@Pineapple:~# /etc/init.d/karma restart Failed to connect to hostapd - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory Worked fresh out of the box, Installed some packages, rebooted config looked blank, couldn't start karma. Reloaded the device things started working. Add to to that.. Connect to a wireless network.. karma stops.. won't reload even after reboot Edited October 31, 2013 by wirecutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirecutter Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 From factory reload, if I start wlan0 first and connect to a wireless network, karma never starts again.. Same Failed to connect... if I do a factory reload and start karma first thing.. karma starts.. then stops once you connect to a wireless network.
