Re: How to grab Wifi passwords with only 2 commands

Got a question, can either of them be used on a Mac?

Re: How to grab Wifi passwords with only 2 commands

yep, i updated my script to not use netsh. Saw this myself after uploading it... Now it uses nmcli

I will try it, but my desktop doesn't have Wi-Fi, my laptop does, but I cleaned the keyboard last week, and now it just repeats a certain key, kind of difficult putting the password in. Ordered a new one last week.

Win + Ctrl + O (the letter not the number) will turn on the On Screen Keyboard. It is a lot more convenient than an external key board. I have been using it for some time now because the i, y, l, the 0 on the ten key and the Enter key of the main key board quit working.

why dont you buy a bluetooth keyboard for like 10-15$? Thats even more convienent than clicking all the keys xD

Not when you don't have room and setting it on top of the laptop keyboard often clicks the keys that are still working. Also the mouse pointer doesn't fat finger things like my hands do.

Updated this code as netsh is not available on linux, my bad

Well my laptop keyboard turned up, Royal mail is a bit fucked up atm
This is your script from page 2

skynet@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ python3 script.txt
Error: invalid field 'SSID'; allowed fields: NAME,UUID,TYPE,TIMESTAMP,TIMESTAMP-REAL,AUTOCONNECT,AUTOCONNECT-PRIORITY,READONLY,DBUS-PATH,ACTIVE,DEVICE,STATE,ACTIVE-PATH,SLAVE.

Ok, i tried to fix this without being able to test it so please if you have some spare time try this one:

import subprocess


wifi_profiles_info = subprocess.check_output(['nmcli', '-t', '-f', 'NAME', 'connection', 'show', '--active']).decode('utf-8')
wifi_profiles = [line.strip() for line in wifi_profiles_info.split('\n')]


print("Available Wi-Fi networks:")
for index, profile in enumerate(wifi_profiles):
    print(f"{index + 1}. {profile}")


selection = input("Select a Wi-Fi network (enter the number): ")
try:
    selected_profile = wifi_profiles[int(selection) - 1]
except (ValueError, IndexError):
    selected_profile = None


if selected_profile:
    wifi_password_info = subprocess.check_output(['nmcli', '-s', '-g', '802-11-wireless-security.psk', 'connection', 'show', selected_profile]).decode('utf-8')
    wifi_password = wifi_password_info.strip()


    print(f"Wi-Fi network: {selected_profile}")
    print(f"Password: {wifi_password}")
else:
    print("No Wi-Fi network selected.")

By the way, i did not knew that you can run .txt files as a python programm lol

Yes that works as expected.

Alright thank you for testing it out!

Re: How to grab Wifi passwords with only 2 commands

My solution to this problem has always been to just plug the machine into an ethernet jack. 50ft and 100ft ethernet cables are sold almost everywhere now, even the grocery store!

And they are a major tripping hazard. Or do you like getting sued?

Not if you route them correctly.

Besides this was for our own businesses, so we always went with wired solutions. I always had my staple gun handy to route the wires.

I'm lazy

BTW I uploaded your code to ChatGPT, and it told me what it does, which I had an idea of anyway.

lmfao when you said the code does not work i turned to chatgpt and asked what arguments nmcli would take in regards to wlan networks and just replaced what sounded right without reading much xD
