Background
Epson perfection 4490 photo software download mac. Jan 06, 2016. The first version of reaver-wps (reaver 1.0) was created by Craig Heffner in 2011. Reaver-wps-fork-t6x version 1.6.x is a community forked version which includes various bug fixes, new features and additional attack method (such as the offline Pixie Dust attack). The original Reaver (version 1.0 to 1.4) can be found in google code archives.
WPS is a security standard that allows users to connect to WPA/WPA2 networks easier, through use of an 8 digit pin code. As a result this actually weakens the security of WPA/WPA2 as this can be brute forced, and once compromised allows the hacker the ability to access the router/access point and have it provide it’s own passphrase or PSK (pre-shared key). The tools used in this attack are as follows, all included in Kali linux.

Part 1 – MAC Spoofing
While not essential to our hack, in order to simulate doing this for real we’re going to spoof our MAC Address to limit the potential for getting caught. To do this requires only a few steps. For demonstration purposes, show the current MAC address:
The first thing we do is bring the interface down and stop network manager, by issuing the following commands: Mac cursor windows 7 download.
Now we generate a random MAC address using macchanger. There are a couple of different options here, either using -r which will generate a random MAC or -a which will generate a random MAC with the same manufacturer prefix (if it can determine the manufacturer). In my case, it couldn’t so the output is the same as using -r.
Finally bring the interface up, and note the MAC has changed (the previous step actually shows you the original MAC and the new MAC).
Part 2 – Hacking WPS
Hacking WPS was actually less work than hacking WEP, though it took a lot longer. The first thing we need to do is run airmon-ng without options to ensure our wireless interface is being detected properly. Bootstrap studio for free.
Next issue the command again with the interface included to start monitoring.
The output should look something like the following.
Now we’re going to run reaver with the MAC address of the access point as an argument, which was obtained as a result of the command used in the previous step. This step can take anywhere from 4 to 20+ hours. In my case it took about 6 hours to successfully crack the WPS pin.
The attack method used to compromise WPA/WPA2 by way of hacking the WPS was in my opinion much easier than that used to hack WEP in a previous demonstration this semester. While WEP took about 30 minutes to crack, hacking WPS took approximately 6 hours. After some very brief research online I discovered that this process can take anywhere from 4 to 30 hours. You would think the length of time required to perform the hack would be somewhat of a deterrent, however once WPS has been compromised it opens up a permanent vulnerability (unless one disables WPS) as the same key can be used to repeat the process once the Administrator for the access point changes the pre-shared key. To further complicate matters the WPS key is hard coded for each router, and cannot be changed. Which leads us to another problem. Some access points don’t actually disable WPS even when you’ve disabled the ability in the device’s settings. This has been patched by many of the leading manufacturers, but it is up to the Administrator responsible for the access point to see if this is in fact an issue for their particular hardware.
