Reaver has been designed to be a robust and practical attack against WPS, and has been tested against a wide variety of access points and WPS implementations. Reaver implements a brute force attack against Wifi Protected Setup (WPS) registrar PINs in order to recover WPA/WPA2 passphrases

very nice tool, works a treat ! providing the router supports PIN authentication (or that silly press button to connect thing on the side)
The pin thing is so stupid and not necessary at all, god knows why thy came up with it.

I've tried several times and only 30% of the cases it works due of the targeted router parameters.

As far I noticed that the prerequisites are:

1. very strong antenna / signal strength should be as good is possible in order not to spend your next 10 years trying brute forcing in slow motion

2. The target should be a decent router - in many of my situations the router just encounter a DoS situation and stop responding due of lack of resources or bad firmware.

However I got too much fun doing this anyway

it can only crack WPS key if the router is WPS-enabled...
