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
       subsequently 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	regis-
       trar  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)

	      -e, --essid=<ssid>
		     ESSID of the target AP. Unless cloaked, this will be  re-
		     solved automatically.

	      -c, --channel=<channel>
		     Set the 802.11 channel for	the interface (implies -f)

	      -o, --out-file=<file>
		     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

	      -h, --help
		     Show help
