Awesome :). Works quite well and better than Beini and even BackTrack in some aspects. Only issue is being a live ISO or USB you can't save your results (unless you have VM software). This is annoying when you are trying to crack WPS for 8 hrs. Also, I found version 0.4.1 worked better for me. 0.4.2.2 could not find WPS networks. Pros: Easy to useCan't break Cons: Finicky at timesCan't save your resultsNo Apbrowser
