The WiFi Pineapple is a hot-spot honey-pot
You see most laptops have network software that automatically connects to access points they remember. This convenient feature is what gets you online without effort when you turn on your computer at home, the office, coffee shops or airports you frequent.
Simply put, when your computer turns on the wireless radio send out out beacons. These beacons say “Is such-and-such wireless network around?” – Jasager, German for “The Yes Man”, replies to these beacons and says “Sure, I’m such-and-such wireless access point – let’s get you online!”
Of course all of the Internet traffic flowing through the pineapple such as e-mail, instant messages and browser sessions are easily viewed or even modified by the pineapple holder.
The WiFi Pineapple is a specially crafted, battery powered wireless hacking device based on the Fon 2100 access point and housed inside of a plastic pineapple.
Custom WiFi Pineapples
Debuting on Hak5′s fourth season premiere the WiFi Pineapple and Jasager have been a huge hit. Since launch I have received many requests to build custom pineapples. Until now I have rejected such requests.
Then at Shmoocon in 2009 Johnny Long of I Hack Stuff and Hackers For Charity fame requested a WiFi Pineapple for his charity’s silent auction. The pineapple rose $400 to build computer training centers in East Africa.
Since then I’ve been getting more and more requests to do custom pineapples so I’ve decided to put up a page about these commissions.
Funding our hacking research and development
The WiFi pineapple is a joint project between Darren Kitchen of Hak5 and Robin Wood of Digininja.org
Together we brainstorm, build, test, and promote hacking devices. We’re always looking for the next hardware to hack and in order to fund our research and development wishes we’re taking on custom WiFi Pineapple commissions. Profits from these commissioned WiFi Pineapples go to a special hardware hacking fund.
Doing It Yourself
If you want to get up and running with Jasager on a Fon building your own is less expensive. I build these using Fon 2100 access points, plastic pineapple cups, and 4xAA Battery Holders with on/off switches. The software is freely available from digininja.org/jasager. Step-by-step guides are on our wiki and support can be found in our forums.
That said, if you’re interested in commissioning a custom built WiFi Pineapple we would be happy to put one together for you.
