Re: WPS Vulnerability on ASUS RT-N66U Router, is it fixed?

My apologies. I've inadvertently lead you astray. It was the Android app I was thinking of.

Ohhhh, that explains it. I'm a little afraid to mess with Reaver and Wash to check out WPS. Not sure where to get clean copies of it.

Do you know of an iPhone app that displays this info? I haven't been able to find anything so far. Wifi Finder seems to only find wifi hotspots.

I really appreciate your help!

I did look for the iPhone app as well, but it seems there isn't one yet.

In case anyone is interested, I have an update on the RT-N66U as it relates to the WPS vulnerability. I charged up my old Blackberry which has the ability to use WPS to connect to a router that has WPS enabled. I had WPS disabled on my router and the Blackberry did not give me the option to connect with it using WPS. My Blackberry did detect several routers in my area with WPS enabled. Also, I downloaded inSSIDer onto my nephew's Galaxy S3 which also shows if WPS is enabled and with WPS turned off on my router, inSSIDer did not show WPS as being enabled (it did show it when I turned WPS on in the router webui, of course). I assume this means that my router has now been patched and is not vulnerable as long as WPS is disabled. I found a step by step on how to run Reaver on another site using Backtrack CD, so I might try that to see what happens... Just thought other users of this router might be interested.

Good news. Thanks for the update.
