## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: security, penetration-testing, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, networking
