Application Description
Ensuring the security of your WiFi network is crucial in today's digital age. One way to assess your network's vulnerability is by using the WPSApp, which specifically examines the security using the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) protocol. This protocol simplifies the connection process by using an 8-digit pin number, often pre-set in the router. Unfortunately, the pins for many routers are either publicly known or easily calculable, posing a significant security risk.
WPSApp employs various algorithms to generate and test these pins, attempting to connect to your network to check for vulnerabilities. It also calculates default keys for certain routers, displays stored WiFi passwords on your device, scans connected devices, and evaluates the quality of WiFi channels. The app's interface is user-friendly, categorizing networks based on their security status:
- Networks with a red cross are considered "secure" as they have the WPS protocol disabled and their default passwords are unknown.
- Networks marked with a question mark have WPS enabled, but the pin is unknown. In these cases, WPSApp allows you to test common pins.
- Networks with a green tick are likely vulnerable, with WPS enabled and a known pin. Even if WPS is disabled, if the password is known, the network will still appear in green, indicating you can connect using the key.
To access certain features like viewing passwords, connecting on Android 9/10, and other advanced functions, you need to be a Root user. It's important to note that not all networks are vulnerable, and a network appearing as such does not guarantee 100% vulnerability. Many router manufacturers have released firmware updates to address these issues.
If your network is found to be vulnerable, it's advisable to take immediate action: disable WPS and change your password to a strong, personalized one. Remember, unauthorized access to other networks is illegal, and I am not responsible for any misuse of this tool.
Starting from Android 6 (Marshmallow), granting location permissions is necessary due to changes implemented by Google. For more details, refer to: Google's documentation.
Some Samsung models encrypt passwords, displaying them as a long series of hexadecimal digits. If you need help decrypting these, you can search online or contact the developer. Note that pin connection may not work on LG models with Android 7 (Nougat) due to issues with LG's software.
