Bug#835199: ITP: pixiewps -- Offline WPS bruteforce utility



Package: wnpp
Owner: "Samuel Henrique" <samueloph@gmail.com>
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : pixiewps
  Version         : 1.2.2
  Upstream Author : wi7ire <wi7ire@gmail.com>
* URL             : https://github.com/wiire/pixiewps
* License         : GPL-3+ and Apache-2.0
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : Offline WPS bruteforce utility

Pixiewps is a tool written in C used to bruteforce offline the WPS pin exploiting the low or non-existing entropy of some Access Points, the so-called "pixie dust attack" discovered by Dominique Bongard in summer 2014.

As opposed to the traditional online bruteforce attack, implemented in tools like Reaver or Bully which aim to recover the pin in a few hours, this method can get the pin in only a matter of milliseconds to minutes, depending on the target, if vulnerable.

 I intend to maintain this under the pkg-security team, as this is part
 of an effort to get kali packages within debian.
