All that information is what this application uses to check if a network with the activated WPS protocol is vulnerable to this attack. So how does WPS Wifi Unlcoker for PC work?Ī large percentage of routers, although not all, have the WPS protocol activated by default and that large percentage, another large percentage has the default 8-digit PIN code that they put in the factory. Well yes, very easy, too much, so much that it is a huge security hole because it is not the same to have to decipher a WIFI key as an 8-digit code. When the router receives that PIN, if it is correct, it sends the device all the data it needs to connect to the network and by magic and without the need to know the key of the WIFI network, the device will connect.
Instead of having to know the WEP, WPA, or WPA2 key that can be long and complicated, with the WPS protocol, you will only have to send the router a PIN, which is a numerical code with only 8 digits. The WPS protocol is a simple way to establish a connection between a device and a router by exchanging a PIN.
