MarkusM Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Hello, I have the Pineapple MK7 fairly new and have two problems with the Recon: 1. some clients simply do not appear in the search, although I wait for minutes (iPhone connects to AP). 2. handshakes are also recorded very sporadically (almost never). Connecting iPhone to AP. Does anyone have any idea what this is due to? There are not many setting options in the Recon area. Many greetings Markus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 There's no 100% guarantee that all the devices you see connected to a (for example) home router will show up. They have to be active to do that. The Pineapple also cycles through the WiFi channels and if a device connects to channels 6 when the Pineapple is scanning on channel 11, it won't show. Even worse on 5 GHz since there are more channels to cycle through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaKing Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Yeah, make sure that you're not just using 'Capture All Handshakes.' If the router is WiFi 5 or 6, make sure that the iPhone is connecting on the same channel that the Pineapple is capturing on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkusM Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 ok, so from the principle it is a performance problem.... Unfortunately, I can't find anything in the manual about whether I can also set filters to a specific SSID or channel in the Recon section. So I can then search more specifically, just like on the command line with the aircrack-suite. Is there this possibility somewhere? Otherwise, the Pineapple would be quite nicely done but not really usable - I can not really imagine that. The filters you can set in the "search field" obviously only refer to the visual representation of the display... why can I actually only enter one post per day here in the forum???

MarkusM Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 To be honest, I can hardly think of a scenario where the scan makes sense in this form. Without the possibility of limiting the scan to one channel or one SSID, it doesn't make sense for anything, because you simply can't get all the relevant information...

DramaKing Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 dark_pyrro should know that locking to a channel is entirely possible. It's the way that the MK VII worked prior to firmware v2.0. All you do is click on an AP and choose 'Capture Handshakes' in the menu that comes up. There will be a dialog telling you that the interface will be locked to the corresponding channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkusM Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 Ab ok, that sounds better. But then it is very badly described. But even if the capturing is running on this AP, not all clients are displayed - at least for me, or I have overlooked something else.
