edwingeorge747 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hello guys, I have a question whether wifi pineapple is capable to capture access points with 802.11ac IEEE standard. Because when i tried it it is not able to see the network with 802.11ac radio type. But my laptop is able to see that network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud0nick Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Do you mean to connect to the network first and then sniff it? I have an AC router at home and my Pineapple connects to it easily but I think that's because it is backward compatible with n wireless-n networks.

edwingeorge747 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Ya i know it backward compatible with n. But in the recon mode in wifi pineapple i cant see that wifi access point only. but that access point is visible from my laptop. So i was wondering whether there is any opkg packet i need to install.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J5x86 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm pretty sure the pineapple will only find networks in the 2.4ghz range, ac is 5ghz. As far as I know there are no supported 5ghz usb dongles for the pineapple, but I could be wrong :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwingeorge747 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Even i feel the same it supports only 2.4ghz range . So can anyone advice any alternative to it so that wifi pineapple can find networks in 5ghz range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHead Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Well, the short answer, is no. It will only do 2.4ghz. You can however plug in a proper client mode supportive USB wireless card into the pineapple's USB, and if the external USB NIC is n supportive, you will be good to go! Also, here is a page of all the technical hardware info: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Hak5_WiFi_Pineapple_Mark_V Edited February 19, 2015 by DataHead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwingeorge747 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 ohhh okk... i will try something with USB wireless card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHead Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Well let me clear my post up, n is usually backwards compatible via the target ap settings (g). Ac is backwards compatible for n. So with the built in attacking / client mode rtl8187 interface, you can connect to the supportive 2.4ghz 'n' in its (if enabled via target ap settings ) g broadcast. But the pineapples AP chip, supports native n. I haven't messed around much with forcing the AP chip into a client mode, but I'd have to assume it would be a bit problematic Edited February 19, 2015 by DataHead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwingeorge747 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 okk... Now i got a usb wireless card. Can anyone tell me how to scan form the usb wireless card. Like what command should i use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHead Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 If no other USB NIC is used, the one you just plugged in should be wlan2. You can open up the Network infusion, and go to the client mode tab, select wlan2 and scan :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHead Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Or if using ssh / CLI, make sure the interface is up Ifconfig wlan2 up Then scan with iw iw wlan2 scan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwingeorge747 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 But there is nothing like wlan2 showing up. I made it sure that the usb card is attached to the device using the command lsusb which shows me the device name there. Is there any other way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHead Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 what is the device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHead Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 If you haven't already, give the pineapple a restart with the device plugged in. If still same results we will try some other things, depending on the USB nic used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DataHead Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 It seems that nic has some work to get going See https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=42888 And also following the build guide for the mkv http://wiki.wifipineapple.com/#!build_guide.md Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHead Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) But if you don't feel confident in building your kernel for support of your nic, don't do it yoursel then. Wouldn't want ya to brick your device. And nor do I want to feel responsible for a brick of the device. Most I could suggest is to talk with Seb or Darren, to see if their help could be provided. If not, then I'd suggest using a different supported card. There is a thread around here somewhere, of supported high throughput client mode devices Edited February 19, 2015 by DataHead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwingeorge747 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 okkk.. Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHead Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) In case if I missed it, and skimmed too fasly over what's already built and on the pineapple. Seb just posted in another thread but for an AC nic. Might be with a shot The drivers are installed already - it's just a matter of running "wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless && wifi". Then it should show up as wlan2. Best Regards, Sebkinne If not, then sorry, the drivers aren't built into the fw.

Sebkinne Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 ** Depends on what device. But we do have drivers for atheros and other AC devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwingeorge747 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 I tried wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless && wifi . It shows an error, command failed: Device or resource busy (-16) wpa_supplicant_setup_vif(wlan1): Refusing to bridge sta mode interface enable_mac80211(radio1): Failed to set up wpa_supplicant for interface wlan1 And Sebkinne, I searched for drivers in the opkg list, There were other drivers but i could find a driver for RTL 8188 WLAN adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
