RonQ Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Hello group. I have had the Pineapple MK7 for over a year now. Sadly, Im barely better at using it now than when I started. The thing is, I don’t really know how to use it…how to set it up and make the features work. What it can do and the capabilities. I understand 9th bulk of you probably never started with a Pineapple, but I am. I really would like to get proficient with it The question is are there any good tutorials or videos that exist that really concentrate on teaching a beginner from scratch on how to really USE the Pineapple? I’ve seen plenty of the “unboxing and setup” type videos. admittedly, Im a little disappointed there is not an “academy” or “learning” type section where true noobs can learn. thanks in advance!

dark_pyrro Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 The documentation is for sure a place to start. Especially the sections "UI Overview" and "WiFi Basics". https://docs.hak5.org/wifi-pineapple/ Apart from that it's almost mandatory to learn basics that are related to the Pineapple, like; Linux/OpenWrt, scripting basics (bash mainly), programming (for example Python) and networking (at least wireless but also protocol basics, etc, etc). That way you will get most out of the product. There are numerous resources available online. If you want to stay with the Hak5 resources, Shannon made a lot of "101" and "201" HakTip videos over the years that covers a lot of basics (not Pineapple specific). Just scroll the Hak5 videos on YT and look for them. To get proficient, a lot of hard work is needed and it takes time. This video by Darren is for the previous generation of Pineapples, but despite that, it covers some Pineapple basics that are still valid (although the web UI is different). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcnCbxoUWps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be read in about 10 mins and don't give anywhere near the detail required to actually use the product in a meaningful way. The campaign entry for example has two parts, and it doesn't even go into any level of detail for what is, apparently, a core feature of the Pineapple. I get it, I'm a dev myself, no one wants to write documentation but they should be written from a ELI5 viewpoint, not from someone that has built the product themselves, or assumes that every video has been watched.

DramaKing Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I have had success with searching the forums whenever I ran into a bug or feature that I couldn't figure out or find in the docs and videos. It's not the best, but ask for steps on whatever you're trying to do. Unfortunately, most of the modules have been removed, so there is a heavier dependence on OpenWRT CLI tools.
