reaver docs

reavercatch is a bash script that automates the process of finding and attacking WPS-enabled Wi-Fi networks using reaver.

Dependencies

• reaver
• airmon-ng
• wash
• aireplay-ng

The script is intended for Arch-based Linux distributions and checks for reaver using pacman.

Usage

Setup

To initialize the configuration, run the script with the --setup argument:

sudo ./reavercatch --setup

This will:

• Create the necessary directories and files:
  • /etc/reaver/reavercatch.conf (configuration file)
  • /etc/reaver/reaver.db (database for captured keys)
  • /etc/reaver/keys/ (directory for reaver log files)
• Set your wireless interface to monitor mode.

Running the attack

To start the attack, run the script without any arguments:

sudo ./reavercatch

The script will then:

1. Scan for WPS-enabled networks using wash.
2. Iterate through the discovered networks.
3. Launch a reaver attack against each network.
4. Log the captured keys and reaver output.

Help

To display the help message, use the --help argument:
