Step-By-Step on how to install Reaver tool in BackTrack

Reaver is a tool to exploit the BruteForce vulnerability in WPS (WiFi Protected Setup). The guys at Tactical Network Solutions have written this tool Reaver. It is available in two versions, open source and commercial. Here's the Google Code link for Reaver :- http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps/

We'll go through step-by-step to install Reaver 1.3 on BackTrack 5. This is a general step-by-step to install Reaver 1.3 on any Linux such as Ubutntu 11.09.

Installing Reaver is a simple process. We can directly download Reaver 1.3 using the wget command in the directory of our choice and then running the commands configure, make and make install. This should do it.

Step 1 :- Download Reaver 1.3

# wget http://reaver-wps.googlecode.com/files/reaver-1.3.tar.gz





















Step 2 :- Extract Reaver 1.3

# tar zxvf reaver-1.3.tar.gz






 


Step 3 :- Browse to the directory where Reaver 1.3 is extracted.

# cd reaver-1.3/src


 


Step 4 :- Configure Command

# ./configure


 


Step 5 :- Make Command

# make


 


Step 6 :- Make Install Command

# make install





















Step 7 :- Command to run Reaver

# reaver 

 






























Step 7 :- Command to run Walsh

    In the screenshot above, is "mon0" an example of the ap or the name of the wifi adapter?

    I assume you still need a non-usb wifi adapter that is capable of monitor-mode?

    Ben, mon0 is the name of the wifi adapter. Walsh tool will automatically scan for the APs in range, so AP name need not be given as input.
    When you put your wifi on monitor mode using airmon-ng, it creates a virtual wifi adapter called mon0.
    Any wifi adapter, usb or non-usb should be capable of monitor-mode for this to work. Usually most of them support it.

    I'm on Linux kali 4.9.0-kali3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.13-1kali2 (2017-03-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux

    I had to install apt-get install libpcap-dev sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev, because it needed the pcap and sql in order get it running.

    This is not as helpful as I hoped. I know next to nothing about computer language and was not able to get through this guide on my windows 8/10 computer
