Jasager is an implementation of Karma designed to run on OpenWrt on the Fon. It will probably run on most APs with Atheros wifi cards but it was designed with the Fon in mind as it is a nice small AP which gives it a lot of scope for use in pentration tests and other related fun.

[edit] How it works

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.

[edit] A quick highlight of features

  • Web interface showing currently connected clients with their MAC address, IP address (if assigned) and the SSID they associated with
  • The web interface allows control of all Karma features and can either run fully featured through AJAX enabled browsers or just as well through lynx
  • Auto-run scripts on both association and IP assignment
  • Full logging for later review
  • Basic command line interface so you don't have to remember the different iwpriv commands
