insecureabnormality Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 So when I am trying to configure the internet connection on the pineapple the only option that works is to have it directly connect to a wireless access point. When I click the other options it just links me to some video guide documentation, this 'documentation' was a complete waste of my time and contains nothing relevant. How can you go about sharing the connection from the connected laptop? Running linux and connected using the usbc ethernet connection currently. Also some actual text documentation would be great folks instead of having to waste time watching videos. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insecureabnormality Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Also apologies just rereading that the tone wasn't meant to come across as rude looking forward to getting stuck into this device, just thought there would be clearer documentation for it. Ciao thanks to all of you anyways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtyle6 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Sorry, I don't have access to an newer pineapple. I think it's in the network tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev_psilocybe Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Same issue. Plus mine loves to tell me I'm not connected to the internet. The browser time sync fails. Missing ... when you go to dark theme. Only way to delete reports is through the terminal. Makes this release seem rushed without proper beta testing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuture Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Can we add an external USB wifi adapter to the USB port on the Mark7? I believe the documentation said we could. Well - I plug it in, reboot the device, delete my browser cache, refresh the Networking page, and wlan2 is the only option I have... The list of USB devices shows my external USB wifi adapter, but is not an option to use to connect to an SSID...   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What adapter are you using? Which firmware version are you on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuture Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I'm on 101 with approved usb wifi adapter Linksys AE6000 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless Adapter [MediaTek MT7610U]. why do i only see wlan2 in the Networking tab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MT7610U isn't an "approved" (I assume you mean on the list of verified working adapters in the docs.) You will need to install kmod-mt76x0u via opkg, as this driver is not shipped in the firmware. opkg update && opkg install kmod-mt76x0u  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuture Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Sorry - I probably didn't read properly. What is diff bw "supported" and "approved" and "supported (probably)"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuture Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Disregard previous post as it's irrelevant now given that I installed kmod-mt76x0u via opkg with the command Foxtrot shared to no avail - Networking tab still only shows wlan2 despite showing my usb wifi adapter in the USB devices list. This is after a reboot, then a firmware recovery and subsequent kmod update...  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuture Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 following this one last time- https://docs.hak5.org/hc/en-us/articles/360055166053 I imagine that Im going blind after all of this, but I don't know why i didn't notice this discrepancy during prior recoveries: which file should be used? mk7_recovery_1.0.1.bin OR upgrade-1.0.1.bin one is called out in the docs, the other is called out in the device screens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the one that you use in the steps afterwards. When the device reboots and you've verified it's your device by pressing the button on the unit, either use the OTA update mechanism or download the full firmware update from downloads.hak5.org and upload it.

Phuture Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 DISCREPANCY = the first step in the doc links to a file, indeed. then, while performing the procedure from the doc, the user is presented with another link to a different file.  the aforementioned discrepancy is now moot for me - I can no longer enter Recovery Mode. I let go after 3 reds then launch my browser and am presented with everything i saw before shutting mark7 down/unplugging him. Any further thoughts? In response, can you pls provide the top 3 competitors to Hak5's Pineapple line in terms of functionality, reliability, cost, market share?

Phuture Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 once a user succeeds in getting their wifi usb adapter to work in mark7, how does mark7 know what to use?   does it use my wifi usb  adapter or one of its builtin antennas?  is there a dropdown or some ability for the user to choose? once a user succeeds in getting their wifi usb adapter to work in mark7, what does mark7 use it for?  for broadcoasting SSIDs?  for the open AP?  for sending deauth's?  is there a dropdown or some ability for the user to choose? btw - sticking the cisco ae6000 in causes mark7 to flash blue and not respond.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I follow your steps here. After 3 red flashes, the LED stays red. You're now in the bootloader recovery - not the OS. You should also (as the guide says) navigate to http://172.16.42.1 to access this interface, not http://172.16.42.1:1471. 4 hours ago, Phuture said: once a user succeeds in getting their wifi usb adapter to work in mark7, how does mark7 know what to use?   does it use my wifi usb  adapter or one of its builtin antennas?  is there a dropdown or some ability for the user to choose? once a user succeeds in getting their wifi usb adapter to work in mark7, what does mark7 use it for?  for broadcoasting SSIDs?  for the open AP?  for sending deauth's?  is there a dropdown or some ability for the user to choose? You can use correctly configured adapters for anything you would use it for normally... including full access over the command line. Tighter integration within the UI is a planned and in-progress feature addition. 4 hours ago, Phuture said: btw - sticking the cisco ae6000 in causes mark7 to flash blue and not respond. I don't own one of these to test with, but this description makes it seem like an upstream driver issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuture Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 The doc says to d/l one file - the actual Recovery interface says to d/l another. https://prnt.sc/vbghd8 Okay, now Im seeing this screen: https://prnt.sc/vbgiaa I expect, in a few mins, to see a clean-slate Mark7 - NOT what happened the first and second attempts. Okay, I'm opting wifi AP, not USBEthernet. I'm opting to d/l firmware (upgrade-1.0.1.bin) and upload myself OR should i be starting with 1.0.0 and THEN using the upgrade-1.0.1 file - nowhere does it say such in firmware recovery doc. After 3 red flashes and letting go of the button, actually, the LED flashes rapidly then stays solid - there is mention of that NOWHERE. So usb wifi adapters have ZERO functionality in the GUI? okay it rebooted with 1.0.1 file. hoping for the best this time around!

Phuture Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 After ~1 week of trying to get it to work correctly/as advertised, the Mark7 fails as advertised. I emailed about a refund with no response yet. When might I expect the full refund and instructions on how to return?

Nothing is Working well... Hold onto hope, PentestSatori - after posting here multiple times with no help at all from Hak5 support, I emailed them for refund and have not heard in about a week. Finally, I had to execute a chargeback through my bank - still with no instructions on how to return this doorstop.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nando Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 https://docs.hak5.org/hc/en-us/articles/360053346334-Setup-Basics  the "ASIX AX88772C USB Ethernet adapter drivers " is supported. it should be this https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=usb+to+ethernet+asix+ax88772 i guess i will find out if there is a diff between ax88772 and ax88772c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nando Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 followup question.... is there no device using this driver that goes 1gps? thats annoying, that would make the markV and markVII have the the same ethernet bottleneck. good enough for me right now, but still very annoying cant do +100 (which really means like 18mbps). please correct me on the math but i think thats relatively accurate.

nando Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 https://docs.hak5.org/hc/en-us/articles/360058458773-Configuring-USB-Ethernet-Adapters  ASIX AX88179 Realtek RTL8152/3 hmm this site also lists these as supported on mark VII.  i prefer to not have to install any opkgs so i guess its try out the diff pieces of plastic until one works out of box.

chrizree Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 The setup basics refers to the onboard ASIX adapter of the Mk7. No need for a hardware adapter, just add the USB cable. The other hardware adapters mentioned (such as the RTL8152) works out of the box (as said on the web page) and needs no extra packages or drivers in OpenWrt. Just curious, what formula did you use to transfer 100+ Mbps to 18 Mbps and what bottleneck scenarios have you encountered with a 100 Mbps NIC on the different kinds of Pineapples?
