Thinking of building out a custom 3d printed case with battery so it can be more discrete. Everything hidden away with just some antennas sticking out.
The MK7AC WiFi Adapter as sold by Hak5 has the MT7612U chipset and from there website it says "Add dual-band 802.11ac monitor and injection capabilities to the WiFi Pineapple Mark VII with the MK7AC module."
its currently sold out on their website. I wish the creator had uploaded this vid a week ago before I decided to get the actual Mark Vii from Hak5. It was 20 percent off. I decided to jump on it because these tariffs may drive up the price of Hak5 gear since most if not all are outsourced. Luckily I already had the MK7AC adapter after getting it when it first launched, just not the actual Wi-Fi pineapple, which was a lot more costly compared to now. I will do this upgrade too since I still have the mango, and the recommended generic adapter.
Hey I had a quick question. So if I got a USB hub that had more than two USB ports say it had like four or five of them, could I actually put four or five Wi-Fi adapters on there and they would all work as long as they're like the ones that actually do work? Anyway you know what I mean like the ones you suggested?
Hmm... I dig this question. I get what you mean; you've got me curious. Give me ~24 hours to report back since I'll need to factory-reset and test this after work.
UPDATE: I've tried with 3 external adapters and they're correctly recognized. However, if you want to make any good use of it (like serving captive portals on a dedicated external AP instead of the internal ones), you'd still have to manually play around with /etc/config/wireless. PineAP activities (monitoring, packet-injection, etc.) only work on 1 adapter (wlan1).
Think the default antennas with these generic Wi-Fi adapters are 3-5dBi. Decent, respectable range for assessments. Even if you find supported adapters with detachable antennas, I doubt anything above 5-7dBi would work correctly/reliably.
After you set the deny filters, go to Networking → Config → and click the button that saves AP settings. That restarts the radios to apply configurations. Also, make sure to _unhide_ the open SSID as well from the configuration. I found that the open SSID _does_ show but doesn't work well when hidden sometimes.
So I’m on Ali looking for a WiFi adapter. Used the one in your link that limits only to one per purchase and put it in my cart. Can I use a totally different one that’s a RT5370 and have no issues ?
Yes, all that matters is that it's one of the supported chipsets (like the RT5370). Confirm via user reviews though, or you could end up with an unsupported MT7601U like I've shown in the video.
Yes, you could simply just plug Internet into the router's *WAN* port and have Internet access in the Pineapple UI. You can also relay Internet access via the router's wireless AP(s) and *LAN* port. Requires no additional configuration on top of the Pineapple installation.
The idea of a Wi-Fi Pineapple is to be able to do pretty much everything you'd be able to do with those Wi-Fi tools via its consolidated web UI itself.
@@shurikenhacks what is the most recommended one that works ? tha mango seems old wtih usb 2 .. while the others have sd card option and built in wireless card ..
Most supported routers would be USB 2.0. It doesn't matter, you're not gonna be needing USB 3.0 speeds for any of the Pineapple stuff. There are 210+ supported routers in the list, and I haven't researched them _all._ So, I can't really recommend any with micro-SD card slots.
Not only have you cloned a hacking tool pretty cheaply, but you've basically designed a pretty affordable wifi networking swiss army knife. Although, I do also wonder if you could arrange some LTE modem in there as well. Hmm
Mine's 32GB. The project author hasn't specified any USB size requirement/restrictions, so I'm not sure if the _size_ is the reason for your issue. What exactly isn't working for you?

Regardless, PineAP activities (monitoring, packet-injection, etc.) only work on external adapter #1 (wlan1), while persistent Internet access will be handled by external adapter #2 (wlan2 or wlan3). That leaves you with the other external adapters, which if you want to make any good use of (like serving captive portals on a dedicated external AP instead of the internal ones)... you'd still have to manually play around with /etc/config/wireless.
I got this installed on the TP-Link Archer C7 AC-1750 v4. 5Ghz deauth works perfect. If you want to get a good unit out of the box, get something with 3:3 MIMO
One handles the PineAP operations (packet-injection, monitor mode, etc.) while the other maintains simultaneous Internet access ― for captive portals, MitM, etc..
For the Internet-responsible adapter to work, the chipset _doesn't_ require monitor mode; but it _should_ be supported by the Linux kernel of OpenWRT v19.07.7 (which the Pineapple clone image is based on). So... you'd need to get a chipset from the list anyway. The list has chipsets supported by OpenWRT v19.07.7's kernel.
You _could_ technically force it, but the internal chipset is already responsible for creating and running 2 internal APs (management AP and an open AP). Best to not mess with those.
You must know that one wifi adapter will be used for monitoring, the other for the access point (AP). Also, these adapters support only 2,4Ghz and won't work on 5ghz. Last thing, on the original tetra there are 4 antennas : 2 for the monitoring (scan 1x2,4gh, 1x5ghz) and 2 for the access point (AP) (1x5ghz, 1x2,4ghz). Why am I saying this ? You be able to detect and deauth your mobile phone on your routeur because it uses probably the 5ghz radio.
Correcto. It's mentioned in the video that 1 external adapter (wlan1) is responsible for PineAP activities and the other adapter (wlan2) for persistent, simultaneous Internet access. The 2× _internal_ interfaces on the router are the virtual APs (management & open) ― which I'm sure can be switched around with some elbow grease being put into /etc/config/wireless. Both 2.4GHz and dual-band adapter chipsets are listed in the pinned comment. I chose 2.4GHz adapters due to availability being a bitch + crazy shipping times. Needed to get a PoC out for the homies.
It's not about having external _antennas._ It's about monitor mode and packet-injection capabilities, which most routers won't support on the internal chipset. That's why you need external Wi-Fi adapters with those capabilities. Yes, the Mango specifically is USB 2.0. Confirmed USB 3.0 hubs―in personal experience―are just at least a lil' better in overall quality and can be used with other devices too. Hence the USB 3.0 recommendation.
The router's _internal_ chipset is more of a CPU+wireless integrated chipset, so it won't have a straightforward wireless chipset model you're looking for. The internal chipset will most likely not be supported; you'll _need_ supported external Wi-Fi adapters.

Great video! I followed everything and it went smooth, however when the target device tries connecting to the ssid i made, it says unable to connect.
