True, very common with these cheap adapters. It's _chipset roulette._ 😂

Is it the same router as in the video (GL.iNet Mango)

It's supported as per the project documentation and personal research. What issue are you facing?

@ so I plugged it in and tried to start pineAP but it wouldn’t work. Then I re flashed everything all over again and followed the steps and plugged in my adapter but pineAP still wouldn’t start

What's the error? And did you attach the Wi-Fi adapter before hitting ″Reset″ during the Pineapple setup at the end?

@@shurikenhacks yes! When I start pineAP it says “monitor interface won’t start!”

That's... strange. Have you confirmed if it's indeed an MT7612U chipset? Amazon listings can be deceiving (90% of the time from person experience). Run the ″lsusb″ command and share the output. It'll have the chipset mentioned in it.

*_descripsh_* Why say many syllables when few do trick?

I haven't personally tested it, but it should work.

Ok (thanks for the quick reply 👍)

It's not up to me how the video is interpreted. I showcased a feature and its details, which by the way pertain to nothing illegal or harmful. Any $5 Chinese NFC reader off of Amazon could extract such details as well.

You'd have to use a Wi-Fi adapter that has a detachable antenna.

Most probably an unsupported Wi-Fi adapter chipset. What chipset is yours?

@ thanks, i have one from Amazon „RT5370 Adapter USB-Antenne WiFi Ralink RT5370 (RT5370 Chipsatz WiFi)“

Amazon listings are deceiving 90% of the time for chipsets. Either run the ″lsusb″ command via SSH, or navigate to the Configuration/Advanced page and click the ″lsusb″ button. That'll confirm the adapter's chipset.

Happy New Year! Never came across this, but you should try re-flashing OpenWRT and giving it enough time (3mins) to flash completely.

@@shurikenhacks I think I figured it out, I used the power adaptor from a Rasberry Pi and a new PC to flash I'm all good up until the Recon section. I connected my TP-Link AC600 and when I hit Recon I get a whole lot of nothing Could you by change click on Modules and tell me if you see your Wi-Fi interface there. Mines current reads. blank, I might have to go get a cheaper one 😅 Above all else, thank you for your prompt response and help. This has been quite exciting. All the best this year and the ones that follow after

What chipset is the Wi-Fi adapter? Either run the ″lsusb″ command via SSH, or navigate to the Configuration/Advanced page and click the ″lsusb″ button. That'll show you the adapter's chipset.

@@shurikenhacks OHHHHH Maybe that is it!!! I'll check, I typed rt5370 on Amazon and bought a decent looking one, but I think it doesnt have the chipset! You Genius! I'll check soon. Thank you

It's to ensure the Mango and your machine are on the same subnet (to be able to access the Mango); and also so that there's no IP conflicts. When set to automatically obtain (DHCP), there may be extra steps to identify the Mango's allotted IP (ARP, etc.). So... manually setting 192.168.1.X just makes the process simpler.

@ thank you for that info 👍

Shit like this happens to even the best of us! Were you able to figure it out and get into the Mango?

Capable of 5GHz too with a supported 5GHz adapter!

@shurikenhacks that removes the 1 barrier that was keeping me from this project, thank you

As far as I've tested, everything in the GUI works. Note that this project emulates the Pineapple Nano / Tetra models, and not the Mk5, Mk7, etc.

@shurikenhacks thank you for the quick response 🙏 and for the clarification thst it doesn't support MK5,7 etc - ill look into what the nano models can do, thank you 😊

I couldnt find the answer online - I'm trying to understand if this version lets you setup an access point to act as a captive portal for MIM attacks? @shurikenhacks

Is the Wi-Fi adapter a supported one? If yes, you can connect to the Internet via the ″Networking″ page.

Nevermind, got my usb flash drive working, and moved all my modules over to external storage. Great tutorial.

What's your Wi-Fi adapter chipset? (you can check using the ″lsusb″ command after SSH-ing into the Mango with the Wi-Fi adapter connected).

@@shurikenhacks Thanks for this quick advice. It seems that even though i ordered an rt5370 wifi stick the chipset is an MT7601U . . . . .thanks to Ama### Will see if i get another one with the right chipset

I spoke too soon. When I press start on Recon I get an error "Status: Monitor interface won't start! Try to run manually airmon-ng start wlan1"

What chipset is your Wi-Fi adapter?

@@shurikenhacks ifconfig only shows wlan0 and wlan0-1. I assume wlan0 is the main wifi card with 0-1 being a sub ssid to to that card as i have 2 ssids set, management and the pineapple one. It looks like its not detecting a wlan1 :(

No, try ″lsusb″, it'll show you the adapter and its chipset.

@@shurikenhacks Already tried that dude. For some reason I made comment but did not show. I see it on phone but not desktop yt. I said "My windows laptop can see it as can the gl box using ssh and lsusb as a realtek device. I’m just trying some advice to bring the adaptor down and up again" I tried to bring up and down but still does not work so not sure what to do.

Tons of 'em already on UA-cam. Check out the ATTiny85; you can DIY cheap BadUSBs with those. Even with Raspberry Pi Picos (faster, easier to code)

Since this is supposed to be emulating the Pineapple Nano/Tetra ― I'd say fairly close to the real thing. More of a headache setting up than an actual Nano/Tetra, but also significantly cheaper. When compared to the Mk7 and such models, won't be a fair comparison.

There are other adapters capable of 5GHz too, but requires some research based on the OpenWRT kernel version: github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/USB_WiFi_Adapters_that_are_supported_with_Linux_in-kernel_drivers.md Someone has also listed some in one of the comments here. Someone just commented the PAU0D works as well (but it's not cheap).

@@shurikenhacks Im in europe i cant find that model, would a Alfa Network AWUS036AXM work? Has the MT7921AUN chipset.

Afraid not. Check the pinned comment; I've updated it with potentially supported chipsets.

Dope, thanks for letting us know the PAU0D works!

and confusing me as all hell cuz the main config page isn't populatinng... he keeps saying 192.168.1.1 but, in the video he enters 192.168.1.2 ...i tried both with no luck....

in my manual..I actually have a Shadow, not Mango...it shows to navigate to 192.168.8.1

You have to set the IPv4 IP to *192.168.1.2.* You have to visit the recovery UI at *192.168.1.1.* The video says and shows exactly that. Regarding the Pineapple UI, *172.16.42.1:1471* is also showcased and instructed specifically. You _may_ have skipped over that bit. The GL.iNet routers' manuals _do_ say *192.168.8.1* but that may not work every time on every machine due to subnet/IP conflicts (happened with me as well). The method in the video ensures you hit the recovery UI effectively by forcing the Mango (or any router) to *192.168.1.1.*

@@shurikenhacks okay, then ignore my comment :D. But the Pineapple UI URL is 172.16.42.1:1471

As mentioned in the video.

Don't think it's a biggie. If you can run a basic scan later (as shown in the video), you _should_ be fine.

This error's usually associated with using a Wi-Fi adapter with an unsupported chipset. SSH into root@Pineapple, and then run ″lsusb″ to check.

It's not just monitor mode + packet injection. The adapter's chipset needs to also be supported by the Linux kernel. Run ″lsusb″ with your adapter connected and let's see your chipset.

@@shurikenhacks When I run the lsusb command I get this: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2357:0120 TP-Link Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

What's your Wi-Fi adapter chipset? Doesn't show in your ″lsusb″ output.

@@shurikenhacks The chipset that my WI-Fi adapter has is the MediaTek MT7610U

Unsupported chipset. RT5370 or MT7612U are recommended by the project's author.

Trying it out tomorrow. If I remember I'll reply back and let you know how it goes.

That's most likely an RTL8812AU chipset ― not supported.

*_descripsh_*

You may have the wrong adapter. Confirm the chipset by SSH-ing into your Mango and running the command ″lsusb″. Or do the same on a Linux machine/VM.

@@shurikenhacks legend! it says Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter assuming i will need another one

Of course, that's what the management AP is for! If enabled, you power it via powerbank, connect your phone to the management AP, and navigate to the web UI.

Yes, only 2.4GHz on that chipset. There are other adapters capable of 5GHz too, but may require some testing / confirming. I've listed them all in the pinned comment.

I have the same Issue, I've done a bit of research and I think the airmon-ng is supposed to turn on the monitoring mode setting on your adapter however I think that command only works on linux based systems and not windows, but Shuriken is using windows in the video so I'm not sure how he did it.

The Linux command is to be run via SSH-ing into your Mangoapple (which is a Linux system). You can SSH into it using ″ssh root@Pineapple″ via Windows. About the error ― what chipset is your Wi-Fi adapter?

@@shurikenhacksIt’s RT5370N just realized everywhere says RT5370 guessing that could be the problem smh

I have the same issue and my Wi-Fi adapter is RT5370? All the Wi-Fi mstuff works ok. I get an AP and can connect that way (rather than with a CAT5 cable)

The 2 Pineapple APs (open and management) are both created from the _internal_ Wi-Fi, not external. You'll need to confirm your _external_ adapter's chipset. SSH into your Mango and run the command ″lsusb″. Or do the same on a Linux machine/VM.

What's the SSID?

​@@shurikenhacks pinaple c9a2

There would be 2 APs on the Pineapple: 1. Open AP (no password required ― open) 2. Management AP (password set during setup) If you don't remember your password for #2, you can either: A. Reset the Mango and re-flash, then set a new password during setup again, OR B. Connect the Mango via LAN, then SSH into root@Pineapple, and run: sudo nano /etc/config/wireless You'll see your password in the ″option key″ line.
