# The security/pixiewps port

## pixiewps-1.4.2 – offline bruteforce of WPS pins

## Description

    Pixiewps is a tool written in C used to bruteforce offline the WPS PIN
    exploiting the low or non-existing entropy of some software
    implementations, the so-called "pixie-dust attack" discovered by
    Dominique Bongard in summer 2014. It is meant for educational purposes
    only.

    As opposed to the traditional online brute-force attack, implemented in
    tools like Reaver or Bully which aim to recover the pin in a few hours,
    this method can get the PIN in only a matter of seconds or minutes,
    depending on the target, if vulnerable.
