How to? Pineapple Wifi Cracking

[Boeregeneraal]

Hi all,

I have setup my pineapple as a wireless AP in order to allow for access to the pineapple. (connecting to it via a wireless usb adapter)

Now, I would like to use my pineapple to act as a monitoring device from which to run airmon, aircrakt etc, in a kali terminal.

My question is, how do I config the pineapple to do this, when my kali host only sees the wireless usb adapter (so when I run airmon-ng, it initiates the usb adapter - and thus disconnects me from the pineapple because it is now engaged with monitoring)?

Help much appreciated :)

Figured it out...I have to ssh in (ssh root@172.16.42.1).

HOWEVER, the pineapple seems to time out after about 5 minutes. I am sending deauthentication commands to target ...is there some sort of protection mechanism with the pineapple that I need to disable (perhaps?)?

Have you setup your whitelist /blacklist

Yeah it sounds to me like you are kicking your laptop off of the pineapples network. You need to blacklist your mac

Hey folks thanks for the reply! :)

I added my mac to the blacklist in the Deauth bar - however, I send deauth commands via ssh (aireplay-ng -0 0 -a 78:A0:51:21:CD:AD mon0), so would that automatically apply the blacklist from our setting in the Deauth bar(web interface)?

I tried another run this morning, only got to airodump-ng -c 6 mon0 (in ssh), and then the pineapple lost connection (ssh AND web interface). Any ideas?

(error message in ssh says broken pipe - which I am presumming just means the pineapple lost link due to going down).

All help greatly appreciated

Have you tried running the command in the background or kicking it off from a script/cron job.

That way you'll not nee to be "connected" to the Pineapple when it's doing it's thing.

Just for the heck of it, to see if maybe if the pineapple is getting bogged down. Lower the priority of of your command. So type out without quotes " nice -3 aireplay-ng -0 0 -a 78:A0:51:21:CD:AD mon0 " nice is a tool to launch a process with a modified priority. -20 is highest. 19 is lowest
