Description : Reaver implements a brute force attack against Wifi
Protected Setup (WPS) registrar PINs in order to recover WPA/WPA2
passphrases, as described in
http://sviehb.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/viehboeck_wps.pdf.
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.
