Steevo Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) I pulled out my old WifiPineapple MKIV from my archives to play with. I had been playing with my MKV last week, you might remember. This is the really old one, says Hak5 on it. It has it's little 4gb sandisk usb drive in it. It does not say WifiPineapple on it. Says HAK5. So I plugged it into power. WLAN, USB and PWR lights are on. It started up and it appeared on wireless named pineapple. So far so good. I connected. It connected immediately. The computer failed to get a number from DHCP so I gave it static number 172.16.42.4. It tried, though. I tried to access it at it's default address of http://172.16.42.1/pineapple No response. No ping response either on wireless, though I am connected. So I plug in a ethernet cable, I tried both the WAN/LAN and the PoE/LAN ports. The computer tried DHCP, but no number. So I give the wired ethernet port address 172.16.42.2. It connected. LAN light goes on. I tried to access it at it's default address of http://172.16.42.1/pineapple I then tried the alternate address http://172.16.42.42/pineapple which is supposed to be for USB. No response. Tried to ping 172.16.42.1, no response. I pushed the red reset for 15 seconds. No difference as far as I can tell. Any ideas? The red flag here is the no DHCP server problem, of course.

Steevo Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 I tried http://172.16.42.1/pineapple http://172.16.42.42/pineapple http://172.16.42.1:1471 No response. And no ping response to that address, either on wired on either port or wireless. Nothing. So I just dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 I pulled the sandisk nano 4GB drive and stuck it in a windows system, and I was offered to format it. Should that disk be readable on windows? I sure couldn't read it. Could that stop the unit from booting or responding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to what is wrong with your WiFi Pineapple MKIV, I cannot say. You'd have to hook it up to a serial console and see what's up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Yeah, isn't that serial console on that unit a little complicated? It might not be worth the trouble. It needs the FTDI chip? Or does it matter? I have a USB to serial cable that uses that somewhere. I just need a few jumpers. Hmm. I have a Mark V as well, you might remember. The thing is, the old Mark IV could have sat there running Karma forever, and it would make no difference at all between that and a new one.

Steevo Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 It doesn't look that complicated. Serial console coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerravon Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 confusing, you start talking about the mkIV then the MKV which is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 I edited that for clarity. I just mentioned that I have a Mark V as well as the current Mark IV that I am working on. And that even though I do posses a later platform, the old Mark IV could sit there running KARMA for a year. Which is true, right? A guy can have two, I think. I don't post about the Mark V here, I do that over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steevo Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) No, the Mark IV is not working, and what I mean by that is I cannot login. It does appear as "Pineapple" on wifi, but I cannot get it to talk to me. I gave the whole procedure in the first post. Everything I did. It does not hand out numbers on DHCP, and I cannot login. If you know a trick I would love to hear it. Edited September 22, 2016 by Steevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 @Steevo The instructions on the link below are ONLY for the Mark IV. http://mr-protocol.blogspot.com/2013/12/wifi-pineapple-mark-iv-clean-flash-uart.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Wow, thanks! I tried again, it came up on wifi as SSID pineapple, but did not give me a number. I assigned one but I cannot get any response on wifi, or on either ethernet port. I connected, but nothing else. I looked with wireshark and I see router solicitations, so it's talking out, but I cannot connect. I didn't try the USB port, should I?

Steevo Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Are any of these correct? These are the logins I tried, no response from any of them. http://172.16.42.1/pineapple http://172.16.42.42/pineapple http://172.16.42.1:1471 Edited September 22, 2016 by Steevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The first one should be correct. Set a static IP on a LAN connection to 172.16.42.42 and connect to http://172.16.42.1/pineapple when the LAN cable is connected from your PC to the Pineapple. It has been a long time since playing with one of the Mark 4. I would recommend picking up a NANO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 OK, thanks. Which port do I plug into, there are two? The left one says WAN/LAN The right one says PoE Lan Does it matter which one I plug the computer into? I don't need a crossover cable?

Mr-Protocol Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Ummm, i think it does matter which port and you may need a crossover cable depending on your computer auto detecting and switching. You can also plug it into a switch if you don't have a crossover cable available. My Clean Flash Video has it plugged into the PoE Port (One closest to the DC power) so try that one first.

Steevo Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm gonna have to rig up a serial console connection, which I can do. I got nothing on the ethernet, even though I got a connected message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Just for fun, I tried a crossover cable. No difference. I noticed the LAN light on the Mk4 did not come on even though the network connection in windows said it was connected. No matter which cable I used. So I am back to getting a serial connection. Something for over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steevo Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Mr Protocol says this is correct for a Mark IV http://172.16.42.1/pineapple Not this which kerravon says is correct for a Mark IV http://172.16.42.1:1471 Which is it? The one with port 1471 is correct for the MarkV, which I have as well. So the Mark IV does not have a DHCP server. OK, I noticed that. I tried both logins. I assigned a static number to the windows PC. I got no response. I am back to trying a serial console. No problems, I can do that, I just haven't.

Steevo Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Well, I took it apart, got a USB to serial adapter set up, 115200-N-8-1 I got output, but it's not in English. Or even Chinese. Heh. Control chars. Stuff like that. Hmm. Just to verify I did an echo test on the serial, it does echo. Well, it turns out the FTDI usb/serial adapter I used does not echo at 115200, so I will have to get a better port. Working on it.

HacDan Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hey @Steevo do you have the tx/rx lines switched? That can cause a garbled output. Might be worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Well, yeah, I tried them both ways, one way there was no output, switched I get garbled text. I have a mobo serial port that now tests at 115200. Looped back. Same garbled stuff. Tried with Hyperterm and with RealTerm. No real difference. The port echoes correctly. 115-8-N-1 No flow control. I just dunno. I just soldered an actual plug, no difference. I had just stuffed a wire into the DB9 before. Now, I have a real cable.

Steevo Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 We are absolutely positive the port speed is 115,200, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
