Hacker Devices: Wi-Fi Coconut

Excerpt From wi-fi vulnerabilities part 2 Webinar Learn More in This Video From CTO Dr. Brett Walkenhorst on Hacker Devices: Wi-Fi Coconut. CTO Dr. Brett Walkenhorst explains how a pineapple can help with evil twin attacks in the brief video below. These devices provide an easy-to-use setup procedure, mirroring access points and using various attack techniques to create evil twin networks. Unconventional tactics have been employed to target corporate Wi-Fi networks using pineapples.

Key Takeaways

• The Wi-Fi Coconut is a roughly 200-dollar pen-test tool
• It monitors all 14 channels in the 2.4 GHz band simultaneously with 14 parallel Wi-Fi NICs
• Broadband monitoring is its default, so it captures everything instead of hopping to sniff
• Its NICs can be reallocated to run other parallelized attacks

The wifi coconut. This is about a two hundred dollar pen test tool. When I looked this morning, it was sold out, so it doesn't list the price. But historically, it's been listed at two hundred. Sometimes as much as three hundred, but, you know, that's from third party vendors.

The source is a two hundred dollar device. And this is pretty cool because you can monitor simultaneously all fourteen channels in the two point four gigahertz band. So instead of hopping around and trying to sniff packets, I just listen to it all because it's got fourteen parallel the wifi nicks inside of it, and that's its default configuration is just broadband monitoring.

However, those are network interface cards that can be reallocated to other functions. I can I can simply run other types of attacks on this very capable parallelized type of attack toolkit
