Reaver is tool which have high efficiency in breaking the passwords of WPS enabled routers.
This tool is developed by Tactical Network Solutions, Craig Heffner. Reaver uses bruteforce attack for getting the password of encrypted network. On an average reaver takes 4 to 10 hours to identify the password of WPA or WPA2 network. Reaver tool shows higher efficiency rate in case of WEP encrypted networks.
You will find reaver tool in the application menu of kali linux as shown on the picture.
Reaver tool is very easy to use. There are not much more commands to
write down in the terminal for using this tool. The usage of this tool
is described below with the help of the pictures.
You can simply type reaver to view the help of usage of reaver tool. This command will show you what are the options available for use in the reaver tool.
There are only two things needed for using reaver tool.
1. Monitor mode interface name
2. BSSID or MAC Address of the router
The BSSID of the router can be obtained very easily.
The Steps for using Reaver tool are as follows.
Step1. You just have to put your wireless card in monitor mode .
How to put your wirelesss card into monitor mode is described in our previous post. The link of that post is given below.

Step2. Now we have to scan the networks present in our range. The command for this purpose is given below with picture.
airodump-ng InterfaceName
After you press enter to this command above, then scanning of networks around your range will be started and you will get MAC address of the router or victim. You can identify the victim using the name which you can find out easily in the ESSID column.
After you specify your target or victim press Ctrl+C to stop scanning process.
Copy the MAC address of the victim now
Step3. Now you have to use reaver tool the usage of reaver tool as already described require MAC Address which is copied by previous step and name of the Monitor Mode Interface.
The command is as:
reaver -i InterfaceName -b BSSID -vvv -K 1
It will take some time for cracking the password wait for that time..
This is all about Reaver tool.
Enjoy.....
