NAME
     Reaver - WPS Cracker

SYNOPSIS
     reaver -i <interface> -b <target bssid> -vv

DESCRIPTION
     Reaver  implements  a brute force attack against WiFi Protected Setup which
     can crack the WPS pin of an access point in a matter of  hours  and  subse-
     quently recover the WPA/WPA2 passphrase.

     Specifically,  Reaver  targets the registrar functionality of WPS, which is
     flawed in that it only takes 11,000 attempts to guess the correct	WPS  pin
     in  order to become a WPS registrar. Once registred as a registrar with the
     access point, the access point will give you the WPA passphrase.

OPTIONS
	    -m, --mac=<mac>
		   MAC of the host system (should be resolved automatically)

		   Send output to a log file [default: stdout]

	    -f, --fixed
		   Disable channel hopping

	    -5, --5ghz
		   Use 5GHz 802.11 channels

	    -v, --verbose
		   Display non-critical warnings (-vv for more)

	    -q, --quiet
		   Only display critical messages

	    -i, --interface=<wlan>
		   Name of the monitor-mode interface to use

	    -b, --bssid=<mac>
		   BSSID of the target AP

	    -p, --pin=<wps pin>
		   Use the specified WPS pin
