The new WPS WPA Tester has recently been released, with an Android application that can be used to perform all the necessary WPA test on the phone and see if it has been compromised by hackers. WPS stands for Wireless Protected Setup and when an 802.11 Network is being set up the WPA Security Key is transmitted through the Antenna of the router. The WPA security key is a four digit number that is transmitted along with the SSID or wireless network name. When a computer is turned on it also sends an SSID to the computer using WAP as well.
Now this software applications allow a user to test the security settings on any WPS Router at any time to ensure the secure configuration. The application provides real time reporting and help in verifying the sensitivity of your Wi-Fi router settings, reports the wireless pass and indicate if the WPA security key is saved or not. In case the SSID is changed, the report also highlights the difference between the old and new SSID. You can also test your connection by sending several SSIDs that would test if the WPA security key is saved on the phone. WPS was designed with the intention of establishing a connection between a WPS router and the wireless phones and laptops of wireless network users.
The application is really beneficial for users who want to keep their network secure and a wireless phone connected to a WPS router for some time without the need to manually enter passwords. The application can also be useful for those who use wireless printers and scanners as they can send out an IP address that will enable the scanner to find the printer on its network as well. The WPS software application works even without the internet to ensure a user gets a free wireless connection, whether they are at home or abroad.
