Pineapple

HurricaneLo

how would I be able to tell if someone used a pineapple on my network to remotely get into my phone and or laptop I have Comcast internet and Verizon iPhone6s and a dell laptop with windows 10. I know basically nothing about this stuff. I keep reading and reading but it still doesn’t make any sense to me. Please help.

Without more information it would be hard to give you an exact answer.  You need a way of registering your access points on your network, and to be able to ban "Rogue Access Points"  If you are using something like a Netgear, D-Link, or other such consumer, all-in-one router/switch/accesspoint, that would be hard to do, because they do not have any mechanism for authorizing access points.  You should look into something like the Ubiquiti Dream Machine (https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-UniFi-Dream-Machine-UDM-US/dp/B081QNJFPV/ref=sr_1_14?crid=1JIFYIGMBYUPN&dchild=1&keywords=dream+machine&qid=1609077082&sprefix=dream+mach,aps,179&sr=8-14).
The Unifi software will allow you to know if a rogue access point is on your network, and it's MAC address.  Using your FingBox you can ban that MAC address from your network.

What happens is a hacker clones a MAC address of one or more of your devices and uses the entry to send roque access points? Is there anyway aside from blocking the device on Fingbox and using a ‘Guest’ for the device to work around it?

update- I found out that my brother gave his penetration testing buddy my WiFi info and pass and also the name of my device (my phone, we were talking about funny names we have for our phones and it coming up when you get in the car and it auto connects) and was able to do it that way but I never gave him permission to do all of that with his friend on my account! I got a notification from google saying “data breach -something or other and has to change all my passwords
