siftyy Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Just as the title said, is there a way to directly ssh into the pineapple from something like my phone? I'm asking this because I am very mobile at the moment and don't have a lot of time to sit down and work with my pineapple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesugarat Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Yep. You just need to SSH in normally. Laptop sure. Phone? Depends on the phone and the apps available I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrad Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 If its an iPhone issh works well, it even keeps different sessions open, so you really don't need to use screens with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) I'm using ServerAuditor on my iPhone (*SPIT*) but I would highly recommend using screen as much as possible. The whole concept of just not giving a shit wether or not the link gets severed is great for peace of mind. I tend to run OpenSSH on port 443 which my router simply port-forwards. Encrypted traffic is expected on that port so the work proxy lets it pass. :-) Edited May 17, 2014 by Cooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choppin32 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I have SSH setup for my pineapple but when I remove the Ethernet cable i cant SSH into it anymore. how do I fix this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrad Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 You would have to connect to the pineapple via wifi, to wlan0. Whatever you named the AP, ie "Free WiFi", "attwifi" ect....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choppin32 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 and i take it this is a command in SSH that i have to do to set that up then unplug the Ethernet cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringes Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) and i take it this is a command in SSH that i have to do to set that up then unplug the Ethernet cable? You need network access to the pineapple in order to connect to it. I assume you want to disconnect the cat-5 cable, but still have the pineapple connected to the local network (and the internet) via one of the pineapple's wireless interfaces. Is that the question? To do that via the web interface, go into the Network infusion, select the Client Mode tab and connect to a local AP just as you would your laptop or phone. (This can also be done via the WiFi Manager infusion.) Once your pineapple is connected to the local AP, make a note of its IP and ssh (or browse) to that. (You can then disconnect the cable and still have access.) You could also set up the pineapple as an AP (again using the Network or WiFi Manager infusions), connect your laptop to that, and ssh to 172.16.42.1. But you'll need Client Mode (or the cable) anyway to get your pineapple on the network. (As a next step, when my pineapple boots, it uses the autossh service to create two port forward tunnels (22 & 1471) to a "relay server" I have set up. So I can SSH or browse in from anywhere, not just a local network.) Did siftyy's question get answered?

xrad Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I think you covered it fringes.......that's the only way I know without a relay server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of these replies were great, but Fringes hit the nail on the head, thank you so much for your answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
