Creating the "Ultimate Trollbox"/"Poor mans Wifi Pinapple" for fun (and profit?)
This post was last modified over a year ago and as such, information in it may be outdated (or the post may be outright broken).
Hey G33ks,So as you may or may not know, I nearly always open articles with "So you may or may not know"..
FML...
Back on topic, I'm going by train to school a lot, and I always wanted a Wifi Pineapple.
But because it's expensive as heck, I couldn't wait and I had a raspberry Pi laying around, I decided that I wanted to turn my raspberry into a "poor-mans" wifi pineapple!So I recently came across this suite called "FruityWifi" and when I tested it on my Laptop (which I will showcase soon by the way!) it worked during my test run, and so I decided to use this suite for my PineapplePi.Disclaimer

Capish?
Now we got that out of the way, we can start the project!

Gathering the components
Before I startted the project, I gathered everything I needed from all over the room (yes, everything is scattered around the room)
- 1x Raspberry Pi 2 model B (a Pi 3 will work just fine)
- 1x TP-Link TL-WN722N Wireless NIC (any hostapd compatible NIC will do)
- 1x PNY 7800mAh powerbank (any powerbank that can deliver 2A+ will do. mo mAh, mo betta!)
- The other stuff needed for the Pi (8GB+ SD card, cables etc.)
- A PC to flash Raspbian with
- Basic Linux knowledge
Preparing the Pi & Installing FruityWifi
I flashed Raspbian-Jessie-Lite (the non-GUI version) to a 16GiB SD card. (google it if you don't know how) After doing that, I hooked everything up (Wifi adapter, ethernet, power etc.) and booted up the pi. After I let it boot, I SSHed into my Pi, and did the usual stuff (like expanding the filesystem and changing my password)After this, I downloaded and installed FruityWifi with these commands: (I stripped off the outputs to keep it clean)
sudo apt update
wget https://github.com/xtr4nge/FruityWifi/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd FruityWifi-master
sudo ./install-FruityWiFi.sh
I entered my information where needed (like password for sudo and information for the self-signed SSL sertificate)After this, I reboot my pi (not neccesary, but I generally do this just for the sake of)Configuring FruityWifi & Installing the Modules
head over to my webbrowser and opened this page:
https://10.0.0.138:8443/
Where 10.0.0.138
should be replaced with the IP of your raspberry pi.After this I logged in with the FruityWifi default credentials:
username: admin
password: admin
You will now be presented with a nice dashboard.
Don't worry if your module list is empty.
I will show you how to get the needed modules for this project! (Yes, I didn't realize I still had 3 modules running lol)Then, I headed over to the modules page. and clicked on "list available modules [tar.gz]" (image unavailable)
then, install these modules: (just hit the goddamn install link lol)
- ap
- api (This one is important as heck... I have no clue why this is not a default, as FruityWifi kinda relies on it)
- fruitydns
- karma
Status
again.
and click view
next to Karma.
On the page that appears, if you don't see karma installed like the screenshot below, then click on the red install
, else, continue on.Now go to the Config
page of FruityWifi.
And make the IN | OUT
section look like this: (be sure to enter your wlan card in the IN
section!)
After you've done this, go to the Status
page again, and this time, click view
behind FruityDNS
go to Config
and replace the config with this code:
[SETUP]
port = 20000
dnsspoof = on[A]
* = 192.168.148.1
Be sure to replace 192.168.148.1
with the IP of your incoming nic (so your wireless).
Hit save.
And we're done for this part!
we can now go to the next step:Making a basic website!
If you want to test the functionality (or just be a dick like me and troll people), you will need to make a basic website. To do this, we need to install a basic webserver on the pi. open up the SSH again and type this command:
sudo apt install apache2
This will install the apache2 webserver.
Now, once that is done, enter the following command:
sudo nano /var/www/html/index.html
Replace all the code with this code:
It Works!
hold CRTL
and hit X
to save and exit.
You can put your own code there, but that's for you to figure out :)Now go to the website in your browser.
In my case, it was http://10.0.0.138/
. but your IP might be different. (again, use the IP of your Pi, not mine)
If that shows a big black text saying It Works!
Then we can continue, else, try to figure out whats wrong.We can now go on, and see the result of our labour!Starting the whole thing!
Go to the
Status
page yet again.
Start the following Modules: (In Order, but I don't know if that's really necessary)
- AP
- FruityDNS
- Karma
Status
page)
I had gone to the Dentist, and I already rickrolled like 6 or 7 people lol.
But depending on your luck (and the stupidity of other people), this may be WAY more or less for you.
Final words
Well, I guess that's about it! The fun part about it is, everybody that is connected will visit your webserver. This is because the DNS tells that every domain, subdomain or hostname is the IP you specified in FruityDNS (in my case
192.168.148.1
).
This makes it even easier to troll people.
FruityWifi still has a lot of other features, so be sure to check them out!
