WiFi Pineapple and Mac OS X Internet Sharing

Important: this approach does not seem to work since Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

This one is for you Mac users out there that want to share your Mac’s WiFi internet connection via the LAN cable to the WiFi Pineapple. Using the out of the box Internet sharing option of your Mac doesn’t work with the WiFi Pineapple. I had experienced it again, but never gave it any good look and switched to Linux. Today I it frustrated me and I looked into it.

The problem with the setup is twofold: 1) The Pineapple expects the 172.16.42.0 subnet, while OS X uses 192.168.2.0 when enabling internet sharing, and 2) the Pineapple expects the default gateway on 172.16.42.42 which is not a very logical address for a gateway. Now, we could change all these settings on the Pineapple to match the Mac’s. But sometimes your situation may require different. I couldn’t find any manual on the internet. So here are the steps you need to do:

  1. Disconnect cables from Mac’s LAN to Pineapple.
  2. On the Mac go to Internet Sharing and share your WiFi adapter to the LAN interfaces. Once enabled, disable it again and close the System Preference program. We need this step to write a default config file that we can alter.
  3. The config file that we need to alter is /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat.plist We need to add an option “SharingNetworkNumberStart 172.16.42.0”. You can manually add this as a dict at the end of the file, or you can use the command “sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat NAT -dict-add SharingNetworkNumberStart 172.16.42.0″. This makes sure that 172.16.42.0/24 is now used as the subnet for the sharing interface, and as such fixes our first problem.
  4. Use the GUI again to start Internet Sharing.
  5. Manually change the IP address used by the Mac’s LAN interface with the command “ifconfig bridge100 172.16.42.42 netmask 255.255.255.0 up”.
  6. Now we need to change some DHCP options, because by default the DHCP server tells the clients to use gateway 172.16.42.1. We do this by altering file /etc/bootpd.plist. There are two mentions of 172.16.42.1 that we need to change into 172.16.42.42. We also need to adjust the pool range. Look for the <key>net_range</key> section. Alter the starting address to 172.16.42.43.
  7. Find the PID of the bootpd process and give it a kill -HUP to reread its config file.

That’s it. Now you can connect the LAN cable and enjoy internet from your Pineapple.

I have been using the Wifi Pineapple Nano by Hak5 for a long time. What can I say – very, very cool tiny device. Since I am also a macOS user, I would like to show in this tutorial how I share my internet (Wifi to USB). There are various options but with this I have currently achieved the best results.

Important: You should carry out all firmware upgrades beforehand, since the settings (which I will show you soon) will be overwritten again.

Objectives

I would like to connect my Macbook to the Internet via WiFi and then make it available to the Wifi Pineapple via USB. So here both devices should be able to use the Internet without network conflicts.

Change Wifi Pineapple network

The first steps of the configuration have been carried out. However, you still cannot connect to the device or share the internet!

Modify macOS network configuration

Now you have to configure the macos network dhcp with manual address (network.lan.gateway 192.168.2.1). To do this, open the network settings and select the Wifi Pineapple (AX88x72A). Select “DHCP with manual address” in the dropdown and assign the IP (next to Configure IPv4).

You should also change the arrangement of your available network connections (devices). Click the gear icon and select “Set Service Order”. At the top should be the standard wifi followed by Wifi Pineapple.

After a short time, the settings should have been accepted.

Wifi to USB internet sharing

Now we are making the internet available from Wifi to Wifi Pineapple (USB). Launch Internet Sharing under System Preferences. On “Share your connection from” select the Wifi and on “To computers using” select the Wifi Pineapple.

Done … let’s verify all configurations.
