Description

This module exploits a command injection vulnerability on WiFi Pineapples version 2.0 We use a combination of default credentials with a weakness in the anti-csrf generation to achieve
command injection on fresh pineapple devices prior to configuration. Additionally if default credentials fail,
you can enable a brute force solver for the proof-of-ownership challenge. This will reset the password to a
known password if successful and may interrupt the user experience. These devices may typically be identified
by their SSID beacons of 'Pineapple5_....'; details derived from the TospoVirus, a WiFi Pineapple infecting
worm.
