The stock STA client interface (wlan0) holds phy0's channel, pinning wlan0mon so 2.4GHz recon captures nothing (verified: iw set channel -> Resource busy until wlan0 is down). env_check now disables it (uci wireless.dummy_radio0 disabled=1 + wifi reload) at startup and /api/recon/status exposes wlan0_sta so the recon page can warn if it regresses.
Mark VIII
Mark VIII is a community web-management payload for the WiFi Pineapple Pager.
It runs locally on the Pager and exposes its interface on port 8080.
Install
Copy this complete directory to either:
/root/payloads/user/remote_access/pager-webui/
/mmc/root/payloads/user/remote_access/pager-webui/
Ensure payload.sh is executable. It will then appear under Remote Access in
the Pager payload menu.
Run
Run Mark VIII from the Pager. Choose background mode to install and enable its
procd service, or foreground mode to keep it attached to the payload screen.
Open http://172.16.52.1:8080/ and authenticate with the Pager's device
password. Re-running the payload stops and removes the background service.
Requirements and security
- WiFi Pineapple Pager firmware 24.10.1
python3(included with the supported firmware)- Access to port 8080 should be limited to trusted management networks
Mark VIII runs as root because it manages the device. Review the source before installation and use it only on systems and networks you are authorized to administer.
