Ah the WPS reaver attack. It's one of the biggest jokes in security I've ever seen. It's like having two doors leading into the same "secure" room: one is a big iron door (WPA2), and the other is a flimsy wooden door (WPS) that can be pushed over with just a bit of force.

Best of all, WPS was enabled by default on most access points and there was no delay on retries.

What makes it even worse is this happened after the whole WEP debacle. You'd think the Wi-Fi Alliance would do some security auditing, but they were obviously more focused on collecting certification fees.
