blueteq Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hi, over the weekend I resurrected an old Mark V Pineapple which had some bad firmware... in anticipation of the Tetra which is on its way. We doing a project for a client where they want to count the number of people in a shopping area by counting the number of devices in range of an AP looking to connect to some SSID. We just need a list of client addresses trying to connect with time and date. The client in an effort to save cost will build reports on the data. One of the Tetra features is, Device tracking and alerting so hoping that will do it out of the box. We looked at commercial solutions like Euclid but as mentioned ... they don't have a crazy budget. Any other ideas would be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueteq Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Awesome thanks so much Sebkinne, will take a look. Sounds easier than the other option. And Tetra arrived today!! I am pineappled out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueteq Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Just an update, we turned on the project today and it worked great, however the pineap.log only seem to be for the last hour? is this correct? How would I capture a full day activities? I assume the log clears itself? Will this help or is there a better way: tail -f /tmp/pineap.log > ~/capture.log I have posted another questions here about starting and stopping the probe logging here Which might help with this questions as I don't have physical access anymore.

blueteq Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Not sure if I edit my last post, but after a full day of scanning we found it logs probe requests for 10min and then stops? Restart fixes it but cannot restart every 10min? Any ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 What firmware version are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueteq Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) Hey, It is the latest that can be installed through the web interface. I someone knows what file have this I can check through ssh.. only access I have at the moment. UPDATE: Found version in Banner: 2.4.0 Edited August 22, 2017 by blueteq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueteq Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) I have managed to find a work around, not very nice.. but as they say... someone with a little knowledge can be dangerous.... The probe logging started failing after a few minutes, but when I run: /usr/bin/pineapple/site_survey 10 The probe requests start coming in again for another few minutes. Added this script and to crontab and it runs every 15min kickstarting the probe logging. Rebooted now and will monitor it. UPDATE: So found this in Logread, would it be related: Aug 23 18:00:15 Pineapple daemon.info hostapd: wlan0: STA 70:8a:09:21:42:22 IEEE 802.11: authenticated Aug 23 18:00:15 Pineapple daemon.info hostapd: wlan0: STA 70:8a:09:21:42:22 IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) Aug 23 18:00:15 Pineapple daemon.info hostapd: wlan0: STA 70:8a:09:21:42:22 IEEE 802.11: disassociated Aug 23 18:00:16 Pineapple daemon.info hostapd: wlan0: STA 70:8a:09:21:42:22 IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE) Aug 23 18:00:15 Pineapple daemon.info hostapd: wlan0: STA 70:8a:09:21:42:22 IEEE 802.11: authenticated Aug 23 18:00:15 Pineapple daemon.info hostapd: wlan0: STA 70:8a:09:21:42:22 IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) Aug 23 18:00:15 Pineapple daemon.info hostapd: wlan0: STA 70:8a:09:21:42:22 IEEE 802.11: disassociated Aug 23 18:00:16 Pineapple daemon.info hostapd: wlan0: STA 70:8a:09:21:42:22 IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE) Edited August 23, 2017 by blueteq UPDATING to prevent spamming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
