WiFi Pineapple Active Detection via a Raspberry Pi Zero
summary
Build uses a Raspberry Pi Zero W running a modified Kali NetHunter kernel and simple iw tools to actively detect WiFi Pineapple-class devices. Detection logic scans for nearby SSIDs, then sends an iwlist scan probe for a random SSID and watches for a directed probe/Beacon response that matches an SSID seen in recon. Tests target cheap Pineapple clones (Atheros AR9331 on AR150 hardware with USB Edimax/Alpha radios); demo works, flagging the malicious B0:0D:DE:AF-style MAC when both confirmation checks succeed.
