Hey guys!

Today we are gonna take a look at the newest tool in hacking wpa/wpa2, Reaver.

This tool bruteforces the Wi-Fi Protected Setup, which uses a PIN containing 8 unknown digits, if you do the math (10^8) that’s around 100,000,000 possibilities. Upon discovering the PIN, Reaver replies back the WPA / WPA 2 key.

Note that not all routers are affected by this, as the person who configured the router might have disabled WPS. It is known however, that the majority of routers come with WPS enabled.

Protecting yourself against this attack is simple: disable WPS. This is done by accessing your router (usually at 192.168.1.1 at a class C network), after login in, disable WPS.
