This talk was about how to do offline bruteforce on WPS. Then, in 2014 a research by Dominique Bongard was presented during the conference. Back in the day, I tested many wireless access points vulnarable to this attack, but it took lot of time to get in. This attack was implemented in a tool called Reaver. As expected, in 2011 a security flaw was revealed allowing anyone to recover the WPS PIN in a few hours with an online brute-force attack. This protocol makes it easy to add new devices to an existing network without entering long passphrases by using a PIN code.
So in 2006, the Wi-Fi Alliance introduced the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (or WPS). If you live in a residential neighborhood or near an office complex, you still find some access point with WEP enabled (or wide open), but nowadays most of them are configured with WPA2 by default.īut people are lazy and they don’t want to type the WPA key on their mobile devices. WiFi hacking became (almost) harder with the use of WPA2-CCMP. Hacking WPS Using Reaver and Pixie Dust Attack
