xcureanddisease Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hello everyone. Scrub skid lord here with a few questions before I make the 300 dollar purchase:1) Is the Tetra just a more powerful WiFi Pineapple? 2) Is the Tactical edition worth it? I really am a scrub lord skid atm. Im majoring in computer science and was interested in the Pineapple. Since its sold out and I have a little bit of play money to dabble with, it was either a cheap 300 dollar laptop to use just for visual studio or the tetra. Since I already have a laptop, im leaning towards more the tetra. Granted it probably does things I will never be able to comprehend but I want to learn. Thanks for your time.

DigitalData Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Which edition you choose really depends on how you plan on using it. I bought the tactical edition of the nano and the tetra. The nano is a more portable device so having the battery and case is a good thing for it. In my case, I probably won't ever use the tetra in a mobile scenario. It will most likely always be plugged in and stationary. The backpack that comes with the tetra tactical is cool but in my opinion, not very functional for a mobile use scenario because you can't secure it inside in a way that protects the antennas very well. The best feature of the tactical edition is the batteries. But if you're just looking to learn and don't plan on walking around with it, you won't need those. Also, while i like the batteries they include, and prefer to support Hak5, they aren't the o ly spurce for batteries if you decide in the future that you want to buy one and they aren't selling them by themselves. Right now I think you can only get them as part of a kit. Edited February 16, 2016 by DigitalData 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The TETRA has dual band 2.4/5 GHz radios. I would say if you just want to get into it, start with a NANO. The TETRA has built in UART and Ethernet via MicroUSB. It really all comes down to what you want. The EDC bag with the TETRA will fit a laptop. The shop has a few pictures to give you an idea of scale. With both the NANO and TETRA, the T.E. gives you an easy way to carry it around. Check out the differences between the two here: NANO: http://hakshop.myshopify.com/collections/wifi-pineapple-kits/products/wifi-pineapple-nano?variant=9629752261 TETRA: http://hakshop.myshopify.com/collections/wifi-pineapple-kits/products/wifi-pineapple-tetra?variant=9872855429 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcureanddisease Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Thanks everyone I appreciate the information this is a amazing community and i supported them with getting the tetra tactical edition .love it.as soon as we get a better power supply 12v 2A i will recommend it highly Would you say the device isn't working to its max potential without said 12v 2amp power supply?? I guess what im asking is, do you think its worth purchasing NOW like right this instant or should I hold off a bit and wait to see if there's an update to its power source? DigitalData mentioned I can get some after market batteries but im just asking for you to explaine what you mean about wanting a better power source. I gather that, it has to do with the fact that you're using this on a mobile scale and it just isn't enough? But I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureBSD Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Most of the orders have a dedicated power supply already added in case you don't need to be mobile. In case you need to be mobile with it they pack the tactical kit with two external batteries so you can use it to its full potential. If you only want to carry one external battery you should check what's available on the market that supports 12v and 2a. They exist, so it's not a big deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmmm Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The batteries with the tactical pack work fine.the stationary power supply just needs to be higher.the one that was in the box was only 12v at 1Ah.and as stated per site and forum a at least 12v and 1.5Ah is recommended 18watts.I personally would get it now and use maybe additional aftermarket batteries like the anke powercore with 5v ,4.6Ah ;) hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered mine and I am hoping that they packed a worthy power supply for me. I just ordered Sunday night and had it over nighted for a extra $40. Hak5 shipped it in one day I am hapy so far. Just hoping that they included the power supply for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The vast majority of orders shipped from this week on include a 12V/2A PSU. For all those who received the smaller PSU, we are contacting you by email this week with tracking for the upgraded power supply. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcureanddisease Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ok so finally got around to setting it all up. I followed the 'setup with linux' video... Plugged the Y cable into the ETH port and hooked those two up to my laptop. The light never turned solid blue. It went amber then to blue then restarted back to amber. It was looping for a bit. Finally pulled the Y cable and I used the AC adapter provided. Finally got a solid blue light. So i tried going forward and Kali Linux isn't picking it up. I even tried hooking on the Y cable AND the ac adapted but I cant update this. Linux cant talk to it. When I do IFCONFIG i just get my connection(eth0) and I get a connection that says (lo) Im sure there's something im doing wrong.. If someone has a complete detail on how to fix this and set it up, id appreciate it. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the thread shadowmmm referenced: https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/37142-questions-about-wp6sh/ Thank you for this info I suppose what im looking for is a tutorial or a serious of tutorials of what I should be doing the moment I unbox this. Like step 1: connect this to your laptop/phone this way, step 2) update it this way. step 3) install this etc.. Anything like that exist all in 1 video or a series of videos? The Tetra connecting this to your linux video does say it, but I have no 172 ip range as the video explains. So does this mean my laptop isn't seeing it? Thanks again.

sud0nick Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 You can find everything you need here. If you are still having trouble then give us as much information as you possibly can. What flavor of Linux are you running? How are you powering the TETRA? Do you see the default AP when the TETRA is on? etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
