Wash is a utility for identifying WPS enabled access points. It can survey from a live interface:
# wash -i mon0
Or it can scan a list of pcap files:
# wash -f capture1.pcap capture2.pcap capture3.pcap
Wash will only show access points that support WPS. Wash displays the following information for each
discovered access point:
BSSID The BSSID of the AP
Channel The APs channel, as specified in the AP's beacon packet
WPS Version The WPS version supported by the AP
WPS Locked The locked status of WPS, as reported in the AP's beacon packet
ESSID The ESSID of the AP
By default, wash will perform a passive survey. However, wash can be instructed to send probe requests
to each AP in order to obtain more information about the AP:
# wash -i mon0 --scan
By sending probe requests, wash will illicit a probe response from each AP. For WPS-capable APs, the
WPS information element typically contains additional information about the AP, including make, model,
and version data. This data is stored in the survey table of the reaver.db database.
The reaver.db SQLite database contains three tables:
history This table lists attack history, including percent complete and recovered WPA keys
survey This table is re-populated each time wash is run with detailed access point information
status This table is used to indicate the overall status of wash/reaver
