For users who wish to manually flash firmware from the command line, rather than from the over-the-air upgrade process via the Advanced menu of the web interface, please follow these instructions:

  1. Download the latest WiFi Pineapple firmware for your device type from https://downloads.hak5.org/pineapple
    \

  2. Validate the SHA256 sum of the downloaded upgrade.bin file\

      sha256sum upgrade-x.x.x.bin

  3. Upload the upgrade.bin to the /tmp/ directory on the WiFi Pineapple\

      scp upgrade-x.x.x.bin root@172.16.42.1:/tmp/

  4. SSH to the WiFi Pineapple\

      ssh root@172.16.42.1

  5. Validate the SHA256 sum of the upgrade.bin file uploaded to the WiFi Pineapple

      sha256sum /tmp/upgrade-x.x.x.bin

  6. Disable any PineAP services or modules via the Web Interface
    \

  7. Use the sysupgrade command to flash the upgrade.bin file

      sysupgrade -n /tmp/upgrade-x.x.x.bin

  8. Wait approximately 5 minutes as the firmware flashes. Per usual DO NOT disconnect power during this process.
