lookoutnoob Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hello everyone, I just bought the pineapple Nano and connected it to my PC. Now I got my own android here and I only see it sending probe request only once every 2 minutes. Is there a way/setting in the pineapple to let my phone send more probe requests? Thanks in advance!

computa Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Your phone is searching for wifi.networks to which it connected once. This intervall can't be influenced from the outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrect, depending on what you mean with seeing. The WiFi Pineapple will detect a client device if it sends any other type of frame to an AP (such as data, etc). It doesn't need to be probing to be visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what kind of packets beeing send that a client gets listed as 'unassociated' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probes mainly, but anything that is sent to broadcast and not to an AP (by a client device) will be listed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
