ck42 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Confused about the MKVII. It appears that there is no included 5GHz radio and that the separate MK7AC MODULE is required. How does this work? How does the MK7AC MODULE attach to the pineapple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irukandji Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I Haven't clue as Well. cost maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilia.johny Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 MK7AC MODULE is still on dev stage. ( considering the release video ) it seems the MKVII has headers ( same goes for the Kismet LED board ) the facts are, no 5G on board and 5G module is comming 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck42 Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 So...are we thinking that this module will connect inside the MKVII? Really can't see having an external 'box' that attaches via some kind of cable to the MKVII. That would be horribly inconvenient to handle.

The store page for the 5GHz mod has this image. Looks like a panel is lifted to fit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It extends the back of the case with a flush mounting. I'll post the industrial design renderings once we finalize, before it goes into injection molding. In the meantime, if you have an adapter there's 5 GHz support out of the box for compatible chipsets. See https://docs.hak5.org/hc/en-us/articles/360054071133-Compatible-802-11ac-adapters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guard_N_gnpm3 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Are the antenna on the Mk VII dual band or will the AC module have it's own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 The MK7AC module will have two of its own dual band antennas as it will support 2:2 MIMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homekeys Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Any idea as to when this module will be out? Q4 2020? Not trying to tie you to a date just trying to get a feel for availability. Cheers! Can't wait till mine arrives on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mako7c4 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Can anyone confirm Alfa AWUS036ACM works with the Mark VII? I know its listed as compatible, but a few people, on amazon, are complaining about non-existent Linux drivers. In the past I've have great luck with Alfa's but this is the first one I'm seeing that doesn't explicitly call out Linux, only MAC and Windows.... https://store.rokland.com/products/alfa-awus036acm-802-11ac-dual-band-2-4-5-ghz-wifi-usb-adapter Take care!

chrizree Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I think that if Hak5 has the Alfa adapter listed as compatible, it will work. I guess the reason why many are complaining about lack of Linux support is that those comments are "historical" (i.e. rather old) since the MT7612U chipset (that the AWUS036ACM is built around) is supported in newer kernels. I have a couple of Aukey WF-R13 (with the MT7612UN chipset) and they work "out of the box" in Ubuntu and fresh releases of Kali Linux along with for example airodump-ng in monitor mode. Even MediaTek themselves lists Linux as a working operating system on the MT7612U chipset info page: https://www.mediatek.com/products/broadbandwifi/mt7612u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jholbrookftl Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 are there any instructions on how to get the exterior wireless adapters to work? i plug in my alfa adapter and it does not even power on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine won't light, but it finally showed up under lsusb and ifconfig once I made sure the Mk VII had 2A and used a USB splitter to supplement power to the AWUS036ACM. The splitter might not be necessary for the Alfa, but I'll have to go back and test it later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested it with kali and works great, better than AWUS036ACH which doesnt work with kali at all. and it seemed like doing something in pineapple except there is no way to choose it for different tasks. so unless they add the feature which you can choose any radio for any task I guess you wont get any benefit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrizree Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 A bit off topic, but regarding ALFA adaptes and Kali Linux, I have the AWUS036AC (Realtek RTL8812AU, same chipset as the AWUS036ACH), the AWUS036ACS (Realtek RTL8811AU) and the AWUS1900 (Realtek RTL8814AU) and they all work in Kali Linux using realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms Check to really see that the adapter is working or not with a fully updated version of the latest release of Kali and installed adapter support as per below Install support for the adapterapt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms Attach the adapter to the PC Run lsusb and iwconfig to see that the adapter is identified properly in the system Assuming the adapter is identified as wlan1...

Uber-hackers Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I just hope it’s not like my AWUS036AC that thing was horrible to use, but I have faith in brother Darren so we will see. I order my markvii yesterday and excited to see what it can do. I bought this due to power consumption by my pc, when I turn it on all the light in the house dim......... lol jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if it was video on your channel showing how to configure the config files on the wifi Pineapple MK VII for all of us that are starting on this wonderful device or just add a page on this on the online documentation ;0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
