Okay, so I have been asked to put a tutorial together on how to Pen Test a wireless access point using Backtrack and Reaver combination as I have successfully Pen Tested a router recently to see if the software worked. I thought to myself if people knew the vulnerability in the WPS (Wireless Protected Setup) then they could then work on getting a non WPS router or locking the router down. The basics of WPS are shown in this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Setup. I will show step by step how a would be wifi thief will attack your router... This may not seem like an issue but imagine that your fair usage policy (FuP) is breached month in an month out which can cause you to be put on a high usage loop or be fingered in breach of copyright or maybe the "hacker" is using your connection to access sick porn or terrorist materials... This would again be brought back to your front door. This is why I think the requests are a good reason to publish in my next post. Please check back in a week or so and I shall hopefully have it done.
