SSH and the WiFi Pineapple Pager
The WiFi Pineapple Pager supports standard SSH.
Connecting to SSH
The Pager accepts SSH connections from the USB-C and Management Access Point networks.
The Pager always uses the IP address 172.16.52.1 on these networks, and SSH runs on the standard TCP port 22.
When connecting to SSH, use the user root and your system password you configured during first-time setup.
SSH clients
Almost all modern operating systems have the standard ssh client pre-installed as the command-line tool ssh. Additionally, more user-friendly graphical clients exist for most platforms.
If you use a third-party SSH client, be sure to download it from a reputable source - such as your OS vendors app store. Because SSH handles login data, it is a common target for fake tools.
SCP
SCP is a standard file transfer protocol which uses ssh under the covers. Like SSH, almost all modern operating systems will ship a standard command-line too, scp. More user-friendly file transfer clients also exist for most platforms.
If you use a third-party SCP client, be sure to download it from a reputable source - such as your OS vendors app store. Because SCP handles login data, it is a common target for fake tools.
SCP allows you to easily transfer files (like loot, themes, and payloads) to and from your Pager.
It’s your system
SSH provides direct root access to the system - by design, we strive to give you the ability to do anything you want with your system. It’s your system.
With this ability comes a degree of risk - changing the configuration directly or modifying system files out from under the Pineapple service and experience may have unexpected results.
The Factory Reset, and extreme cases, Firmware Recovery procedures can be used to recover the device.
We encourage you to explore and hack on your system, just remember that when you’re root, there are fewer guardrails!
