Hak5 Celebrates 20 Years with Launch of Wi-Fi Pineapple Pager

In this video, Darren Kitchen celebrates the 20th anniversary of Hack 5 by announcing the launch of a revolutionary new product: the Wi-Fi Pineapple Pager. This device, inspired by the hacker culture of the 90s, promises to make hacking more fun and accessible. The Wi-Fi Pineapple Pager is the result of several years of work and dreams. Darren Kitchen explains that the team has completely rebuilt the engine, optimized the kernel filters, and replaced SQL, making the device literally a million times faster. These improvements will also be integrated into other Pineapple models. What makes the Pager particularly interesting is its ability to execute payloads. Built on Linux, it includes favorite tools like bash and ducky script, making hacking not only efficient but also fun. Darren Kitchen emphasizes the importance of celebrating hacker culture, mentioning popular references like "War Games," "Mr. Robot," "Watch Dogs," and even appearances of Hack Five hardware in various media. The Pager is equipped with a color screen, supports 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz frequency bands, as well as Bluetooth. It also features ringtones, a buzzer, and RGB LED buttons that animate the payloads. When the Wi-Fi space becomes interesting, the Pager activates, reminiscent of the days when pagers lit up with messages from your crush in the 90s. Today, it's the payloads that make the Pager buzz. One of the practical advantages of the Pager is that it does not require a laptop. You can manipulate Wi-Fi directly from your hands, in high resolution. This makes the device extremely portable and practical for quick and effective interventions. Darren Kitchen concludes by announcing that the Wi-Fi Pineapple Pager is available for pre-order. The first batches are ready, and a pre-order guarantees that you will have yours in hand at the official launch later this year. He expresses his gratitude to the hacker community, emphasizing that Hack 5 has always been a welcoming space where all hackers feel at home.
