Dave-ee Jones Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Did you purchase the Pineapple before or after your modem was hacked (signifying you may have bought it to help stop the hacker). And could you also explain what you mean by your modem being hacked? What's going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be a little overwhelming learning the signatures but it’s a start. Edited January 25, 2018 by Spoonish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broti Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 To clean up I'd recommend the following steps: Check for firmware updates (if possible: download it at your friends house/at work) Factory reset modem Connect it to LAN only Update firmware (if no update: Skip 4.) Configure modem Connect to the internet again Have you scanned your PC for any malicous software, yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d suggest an additional step of blacklisting everything, checking logs and whitelisting slowly what you deem safe. SWIM offers up these extremely extraneous optional steps: wrap everything with a circut board in foil, in 50cal ammo boxes wrapped in foil, all put in your oven/microwave/farthest corner of your property. tip: don’t forget your car stereo with that sweet bluetooth feature. extra tip: office max’s return policy is 14 days, so just return all boxed and pretty. They don’t check to see if it’s infected! extra tip tip: walmarts return policy is 14 days also, but their laptop generaly don’t have bluetooth. extra extra tip tip: desktop tower’s wireless modules are much easier to remove before your initial start up. extra extra tip x 5: when you’re done, you’ll have a lucious collection of wireless cards/boards by the time you’re convienced everything is clear ect.. if your modem is comcast, take it in a get a new one easy peasy. Slowing removing tamper stickers are finicky (but a bit easier made with an old giftcard sanding into a silky smooth shovit and gingerly used in conjuction with a hairdryer) when swapping router cases before returning the maybe infected stuff.... ...so sayeth the Interwebs..
