## What it is
A set of shell scripts that port the WiFi Pineapple NANO/TETRA penetration-testing firmware onto generic routers and other hardware. It includes filesystem patching scripts, an updated web panel, and community package/module repositories.

## Use cases
- run WiFi Pineapple tools on my own router
- revive an EOL WiFi Pineapple NANO on modern hardware
- build a cheap WiFi auditing device from a GL.iNet router
- port Pineapple TETRA firmware to generic OpenWrt hardware
- set up a red team WiFi testing rig
- install Pineapple modules on non-Hak5 hardware

## When to choose
- you own a supported router and want Pineapple NANO/TETRA functionality without buying Hak5 hardware
- you want an actively maintained fork of the Pineapple ecosystem with updated panel and packages
- you are comfortable flashing custom OpenWrt-based firmware

## When to avoid
- you need a plug-and-play commercial pentest device with vendor support
- your router is not on the supported devices list and you cannot test unofficial builds
- you need legal compliance guarantees for wireless testing in production environments
