Description: brute force attack tool against Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN number
Reaver performs a brute force attack against an access point's Wi-Fi
Protected Setup pin number.
Once the WPS pin is found, the WPA PSK can be recovered and alternately
the AP's wireless settings can be reconfigured.
This package also provides the Wash executable, an utility for identifying WPS
enabled access points. See documentation in /usr/share/doc/reaver/README.WASH.
