ILoveCyberSec Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I'm debating on purchasing the TETRA, can you guys convince me why I should buy. Please state your arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbier Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Ease of use and if you want to get into doing penetration testing its a good all in one box whilst having learned there theory of how it all works it help me learn more when I started with the 4th generation pineapple.

Baron Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Well, do you have a previous generation pineapple? Or a Nano? Would help if we knew what you were planning to do with it. Fern's explanation was pretty good Having both dual band 2.4 and 5 ghz is nice, the tetra in general extremely effective and powerful, is pretty much a one stop shop for wifi pen testing.

ILoveCyberSec Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 I have the nano and mark, very tempted to buy the tetra to add it to my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0N3z Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Why should we have to convince you? If you want a wifi auditting device that dominates the market in its field, then there is no convincing. Be a smart consumer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-ee Jones Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Honestly, I think the TETRA is a little outdated. It will still work fine in most situations, but it's not as powerful as some routers these days, and it's lagging behind in it's features. Hopefully Hak5 bring out a new one in the next year, maybe even hinting at support for not only 11ac but maybe a few of the other less-common ones for more adaptability to a situation. E.g. Using 802.11ah for long-range connections (limited bandwidth but lets be honest - we don't really need it when we're looking at SSIDs and MAC addresses). 802.11af may be slightly overkill though. Slightly. I also hope that they add a few more WiFi NICs on it too. Would be nice to have 2-3 NICs on it for bridging and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a comparation of the RT2600ac (Synology's router) vs the TETRA: TETRA CPU: 533 MHz Memory: 64 MB flash Ports: 1 WAN/LAN, 1 USB 2.0 WiFi: 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4/5 GHz (300 Mbps) Modes: Simultaneous dual-band RT2600AC CPU: 1.7 GHz dual-core Memory: 512 MB DDR3 Ports: 1 WAN/LAN (Gigabit), 2 LAN (Gigabit), 1 WAN (Gigabit) Other ports: 1 USB 3.0, 1 USB 2.0, SD WiFi: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2.4/5 GHz (800 Mbps/1733 Mbps) Modes: Simultaneous dual-band As you can see, it falls behind in pretty much every single area. Granted, the router I compared it with is quite a powerful one, but there are more powerful ones still and it's getting to the point where the Synology router is mid-range. I could've compared it with the D-Link Taipan 3200 or something similar and it would get absolutely smashed in every area, but I think my point's been proven. ?

elkentaro Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Comparing hardware is one thing comparing software is another. The comparison should also include intent of use. You can't haul hay with a Lamborghini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just_a_User Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Not forgetting that usually with more power in the device comes more power consumption. Will end up with a generator in your backpack lol. or at least vastly reduced run times when using similar batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-ee Jones Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 You're all missing the fact that I merely said "the TETRA is outdated in it's hardware", which it is. In regards to software, software is just code that's an interface with the hardware. It can only be as powerful as the hardware allows. True, the TETRA doesn't need great specs to run the software, but if people are looking for a cheap hacking solution just flash Pineapple OS onto an older/cheaper router. As I said before, the RT2600AC is mid to high range, so comparing it to a Lambo is a bit extreme..And comparing the TETRA to a tractor is also a little extreme. I think it's closer to comparing a turbo-charged inline-4 to a twin-turbo V6. In comparison the TT V6 has far more power (depending on the tune, ofc), better torque, but the fuel consumption will be higher (unless it's a Mercedes and then somehow it'll still be like 6L/100km). Both do the job, but the TT V6 can do it better in terms of acceleration, power, torque and top speed. Plus, luxury. Going back to the tech-terms, the RT2600AC can do everything faster, can probably crack hashes on-board and can manage tasks more efficiently. Pardon the petrolhead likeness, everyone. Couldn't help it. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
