HOWTO : Reaver on Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS

Reaver implements a brute force attack against Wifi Protected Setup (WPS) registrar PINs in order to recover WPA/WPA2 passphrases.



Reaver has been designed to be a robust and practical attack against WPS, and has been tested against a wide variety of access points and WPS implementations.



On average Reaver will recover the target AP's plain text WPA/WPA2 passphrase in 4-10 hours, depending on the AP. In practice, it will generally take half this time to guess the correct WPS pin and recover the passphrase.



Step 1 :



sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential libpcap0.8-dev libpcap-dev



sudo -sH

cd /opt

svn checkout http://reaver-wps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ reaver

cd /opt/reaver/src

./configure

make

make install




Step 2 :



To run it. You can run it at any directory.



wash -h

reaver -h




That's all! See you.
