Reaver is a C-based command-line tool that performs brute force attacks against Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) registrar PINs to recover WPA/WPA2 passphrases. This community fork (1.6.x) adds bug fixes, new features, and the offline Pixie Dust attack method.

Use cases

• audit WPS-enabled routers for weak PIN implementations
• recover WPA/WPA2 passphrases via WPS brute force
• test access points for Pixie Dust vulnerability
• perform authorized penetration tests on wireless networks
• check whether an AP is vulnerable to offline WPS attacks

When to choose

• you need a proven, widely tested WPS attack tool on Linux
• you want both online brute force and offline Pixie Dust attack methods
• you are doing authorized wireless security assessments with Kali-style tooling

When to avoid

• you lack authorization to test the target network - unauthorized use is illegal
• you need a graphical wireless auditing suite rather than a CLI tool
• your target AP has WPS disabled or is patched against these attacks
