But this article should also serve as a reminder to make your passwords hackproof, because it's obviously easier than you think. Once that access is gained, your PS3 will automatically detect the available networks and from there is only gaming bliss. Once logged in, the Wi-Fi Pineapple owner has access to their internet connection as well as their browsing activities.Īll of these methods help you gain access to a wireless network. When these users log into their wireless networks they are really logging into a Wi-FI Pineapple created access point. What WiFi Pineapple does is steal whatever credentials/authentications it can find from the list of available Wi-Fi networks that users have accessed in the past. Wi-Fi Pineapple's standard kit, the Mark IV, will cost you 99 dollars. If you don't mind opening up your PS3, you can also try this hack, which replaces the internal antenna with a better external one for longer ranges. And if you have the older CECHB01 model, wireless is not supported. You cannot use external USB antennas, as they don't work with PS3s. If you think you might just be out of range, try moving it around until a better signal appears, then setup your gaming station there. If you're near a hotspot location that looks free and unsecured, but actually requires login access (like an airport or hotel that charges money for Wi-Fi accounts), then you can still get around it if you know your way around Wireshark, which will let you spoof your MAC address. Who knows? You might live right next to one and not even know it. If for some reason you're not sure whether or not there's a Mickey D's or Starbucks next to you, there are plenty of mobile apps out there that help you find nearby free hotspots.
