WiFi WPS Unlocker allows users to recover their router's WPS PIN, enabling them to regain access to their wireless network.

This handy app keeps a database of default router WPS PINs. It will try to connect to the network the user specifies using the "WPS" protocol with a default PIN. Supporting eight different algorithms, it's ready for almost every residential Internet router there is.

Another possible use for this app is to see if your router is vulnerable to unauthorized use. Many users just keep the default PIN on their router and don't bother to change it. That means that anyone with this app or a similar app could easily use your Internet connection without your knowledge.

Of course, it's possible to use this app to "break into" routers owned by other people. However, the intent of the app is to let users either regain access to their own network or see if their WiFi is vulnerable to attacks.

The application is very easy to use. After launching it, users are presented with a list of WiFi networks to choose from. Users should only use this app with networks that they own or are authorized to use! After selecting a network, the app attempts a brute-force entry using that library of default router PINs. If the attempt is successful, the app gives the user the PIN for the network. The user is then free to connect to the network using that PIN.
