Hacking wifi password


 

How To Find Wi-Fi Password Using CMD Of All Connected Networks
: It is very easy to find WiFi password using few cmd commands. This command works even when you are offline or you are connected to some other WiFi network. Using this command, we can further optimize our particular WiFi network like turning on some features such as mac randomization, changing the radio type of your WiFi etc.

Whenever we connect to a WiFi network and enter the password to connect to that network, we actually make a WLAN profile of that WiFi network. That profile is stored inside our computer along with the other required details of the WiFi profile.

Instead of using a GUI to find the individual passwords, we can also look for the WiFi password of that particular WiFi network using cmd.These steps work even when you are totally offline or you are not connected to the particular wifi you are looking the password for.

How to know the WiFi password using cmd:

Open the command prompt and run it as administrator.

In the next step, we want to know about all the profiles that are stored in our computer. So, type the following command in the cmd:

netsh wlan show profile

This command will list out all the WiFi profiles that you have ever connected to
As you can see, there are eight WiFi networks that ISo, let’s go and find out the password for the WiFi ‘NETGEAR50’ in this case which I created intentionally for this article.

Type the following command to see the password of any WiFi network:

netsh wlan show profile WiFi-name key=clear

Under the security settings, in the ‘key content’, you see the WiFi password of that particular network.

Besides knowing the password, you can also use this result to further optimize your WiFi. For example, Under the profile information, you can see mac randomization is disabled. You can turn on mac randomization feature to avoid your location tracking based on the device’s MAC address.

Go to settings and click on ‘Network & internet’Choose the ‘WiFi’ in the left pane and click on theadvanced option.

Turn on the ‘Random Hardware Address’ feature under this settings. If your wireless hardware does not support this feature, the “Random Hardware Addresses” section will not show up at all in the settings app.Once you have turned this on, you are done.

Also, under the connectivity settings, in radio type, you can see the whole list. Channel interference could be another reason for a slow WiFi. So, next time, you might also like to change the radio type settings for a better speed.

As far as radio type is concerned, you can also change that in your router for a better connection or connectivity

If you are also aware of some more tricks and tweaks like this, please put them in the comment below. We would be happy to feature some of those in our next articles.

Perform cmd death attack

 A ping packet can also be malformed to perform denial of service attack by sending continuous ping packets to the target IP address. A continuous ping will cause buffer overflow at the target system and will cause the target system to crash.  We often use the CMD command “Ping” to mostly check if a server or a gateway is up and running. But, ping command can also be used for some other purposes. If we look at the basic level, then a ping packet is generally of size 56 bytes or 84 bytes (including IP header as well). However, a ping packet can also be made as large as up to 65536 bytes. Well, that’s the negative side of the ping packet. When we increase the size of the ping packet unnaturally, forming a malformed ping packet to attack a computer system, this type of attack is called “Ping of death” attack. How Ping of Death attack works? Not all computers can handle data larger than a fixed size. So, when a ping of death packet is sent f...

What is DNS

D NS stands for Domain Name System is used to as the medium to translate domain names to their respective IP addresses when a client initiates a request query. DNS stores the database of all the domain names and their IP addresses which are registered on the network. Most of us are quite familiar with the term DNS or Domain Name System. DNS can be thought of as an attendance register for various websites present over the internet. In the case of DNS, it maintains the database of all the websites Domain Names and their IP (Internet Protocol) addresses that are operational all over the world. Historical Notes The origins of DNS date back to the time of the ARPANET  when there were only a few computers to get an entry in the database. A HOSTS.TXT file was maintained by Stanford Research Institute, which constituted the data of all the machines, and was copied by all the host machines to remain updated. Jon Postel from the Information Sciences Institute requested Pau...
