[DIPS] When to turn off the Wifi Pineapple ?

[Default_]

Hi everyone :),

I recently bought a WiFi Pineapple MK5 and I test all its functions. So I tried to make Wardrinving with DIPS. I have, in my setup "DIP Switch Configuration", the following commands:

ifconfig wlan1 down; iwconfig wlan1 monitor mode; ifconfig wlan1 up; kismet_server

For DIP 2: 0, DIP 3: 0 and DIP 4: 0.

I turn off my WiFi Pineapple, I put switches on 0 0 0 and I turn it on. I wait several minutes (20 min) and I unplug. I turn and I log into SSH, I go to the file that I configured (/sd/.kimet) and there from time to time, kismet did not record the documents.

I think this is because I turn it off when my wlan1 interface work (red led is blinking), and this topic :

Here, it is recommend to wait until the light stops blinking flash, which makes sense, but I can not find a way to stop the command "kismet_server" using DIP.

Can anyone give me some advice? :)

You'll have to ssh in the shut it down. It should be logging though. You'll just lose the last log. Might want to check you config. You can't switch the switches while it's running either.

Thanks for your answer barry99705 :) but I can not ssh in the shut it down :/ (Sorry, I'm a noob).

Type in ssh root@172.16.42.1 and enter your password for the pineapple. Then shut it down with 'shutdown' command.
