Homebrew 'Wifi Pineapple'

March 23, 2024

TL;DR: I was preparing my tools for my first on-site assessment. The scope of the engagement included some possible wifi audit/site survey, figuring the Hak5 Wifi Pineapple (tm) is really popular, I wanted to see about bringing one to try it out in a real engagement. I decided on the Archer AC1750 as the hardware, and with some fighting did manage to get the Tetra firmware flashed over, there are some takeaways though; the documentation kicking around is missing some specificity, and in the end I don’t think the ordeal was really worth it compared to just carrying an Alfa.
