This is a quick how-to compile and install Reaver on a Ubuntu 11.10.
Steps:
- download source
- install required libraries and tools
- compile and install
- run =)
Download Source
First you need to download the latest source from http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps/
wget http://reaver-wps.googlecode.com/files/reaver-1.3.tar.gz
Extract the tarball
tar -xzvf reaver-1.3.tar.gz
Install Required Libraries and Tools
Before you can build Reaver you need pcaplib and later on aircrack-ng to run Reaver
sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev aircrack-ng sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
Compile and Install
Build Reaver
cd reaver-1.3
cd src
./configure
make
Install Reaver
sudo make install
Run
Reaver is now installed and ready to use. You will first need to put the wifi adapter info monitor mode before you can start and the most easiest way is to use airmon-ng (part of aircrack-ng) that you just installed.
First put your adapter info monitor mode, in my case it’s wlan0
sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
Run Reaver
sudo reaver -i mon0 -b 00:00:00:00:00:00
Replace MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00 with the actual AP:s MAC address to crack
