Reaver download below, this tool has been designed to be a robust and practical tool to hack WPS Pin WiFi Networks using WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) registrar PINs in order to recover WPA/WPA2 passphrases.
It has been tested against a wide variety of access points and WPS implementations.
The original Reaver implements an online brute force attack against, as described in here [PDF]. reaver-wps-fork-t6x version 1.6b is a community forked version, which has included various bug fixes and additional attack method (the offline Pixie Dust attack).
How to use Reaver
Depending on the target’s Access Point (AP), to recover the plain text WPA/WPA2 passphrase the average amount of time for the transitional online brute force method is between 4-10 hours. In practice, it will generally take half this time to guess the correct WPS pin and recover the passphrase. When using the offline attack, if the AP is vulnerable, it may take only a matter of seconds to minutes.

Deprecated and temporary left behind options

- n (reaver): Automatically enabled, no need to invocate it. - W (reaver): Temporary left behind. Integration of the default PIN generators was unstable, leading to many warnings at compilation time. It was also an issue to use a PIN attempt (risk of AP rating limit) in order to get a BSSID and an ESSID. For the moment PIN generation has to be done externally using the scripts provided in "doc". - a (reaver): This option was the only option which required sqlite3 adding an extra dependency. It was only designed for automation scripts and this task (execute the last reaver command again) can be easily done internally by the script that calls reaver - p1 and -p2 (reaver): Too much warnings and bugs. -H (reaver): There is a need to find a way to perform it more cleanly, work is in progress. - vvv (reaver): The highest level of verbose is temporary removed for the same reason. - g (wash): Option was broken in latest release and need to be seriously rethought. |
This fork supports the Pixie Dust attack which will work against modern routers, you can find a list of routers and which types of attack they are vulnerable to here.
