Nowadays, its a chunky black Alfa AP121U with a nice sticker of an armed pineapple that looks a bit like a viking, slapped on its front cover. Then the Hak5 Team discovered some novelty pineapple cocktail-cups which could house the AP board and a small battery pack (Hence the name Pineapple). From this stage you could attack WiFi clients, and perfrom Man-in-The-Middle(MiTM) attacks on their interenet traffic!.Īs the device was small, it was a running joke to hide it within an actual pineapple.
Back then Digninja (Robin wood) called it Jasager ( ), it was called this because the AP software answered “Yes” to all WiFi Beacon Frames if a WiFi client was looking for the SSID BTOpenzone the Pineapple(or Jasager) would reply “That’s Me!”, if a second WiFi client was looking for an SSID of Starbucks, again the Pineapple would reply “Thats Me!” – Thus tricking unsuspecting users/devices into associating with its private network. Originally it was a hacked Fon/Fonera AccessPoint (AP) with Karma patches applied to hostapd. The WiFi Pineapple, was a device coined by the Hak5 ( Team back in 2008.
