Reaver - WPS Cracker
SYNOPSIS
reaver -i <interface> -b <target bssid> -vv
DESCRIPTION
Reaver implements a brute force attack against WiFi Protected Setup which can crack the WPS pin of an access point in a matter of hours and
subsequently recover the WPA/WPA2 passphrase.
Specifically, Reaver targets the registrar functionality of WPS, which is flawed in that it only takes 11,000 attempts to guess the correct
WPS pin in order to become a WPS registrar. Once registred as a registrar with the access point, the access point will give you the WPA
passphrase.
