WPS Attack
WPS Attack
WPS stands for "Wi-Fi Protected Setup," which is a network security standard used by wireless routers to make it easier for users to connect their devices to a Wi-Fi network. WPS allows users to connect their devices to a wireless network without the need to enter a password manually.
When using WPS, a user can simply press a button on the router, or enter a PIN code, and the router will automatically configure the device's wireless settings and connect it to the network. This makes it easier for users to connect devices to a wireless network without having to remember a complicated password.
How to Run a Brute-Force PIN attack?
WPS is only 8 digits pin so we can simply try possible pins to guess the correct one!
To see the available networks we can type
After choosing the AP that does not use PBC (Push Button Authentication) we need first to associate with the AP
To try possible pins we going to use a tool called reaver
How to Run a Pixie-Dust attack?
The Pixie-Dust attack is a strategy that targets the vulnerability in WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) to crack the PIN and gain access to a Wi-Fi network. This technique is used to exploit weak security settings, highlighting the importance of securing wireless networks with strong encryption and complex passwords.
Now, Pixie-Dust attack is part of Airegeddon, wifite ,... so you can check other pre build tools to run it.
