should i buy the wifi Pineapple or is there a better option? - HeyKBye - Dec 27, 2018

The Pineapple is a few years old, is it still the best in the market? i'm new to this so i'm looking for something simple and easy to use.

Well, pineaple is still a valid gadget, many projects and support but the purchase really depends on your goal and your skill level

WiFi Pineapple is fine, but it's unnecessary. You can build the exact same thing with a raspberry pi and a couple of wireless adapters. All you need is to learn how to use and install tools on Linux with OpenWRT firmware.

The FruityWiFi project on GitHub.com is open-source and very well suited to the task. I've made multiple DIY pineapples for work for much cheaper and an altogether better learning experience.
