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.

So what exactly is cryptography

Nowadays Internet is an important part of Life.  We are using the Internet for sending confidential data also like password,for storing army secrets. But the Internet is insecure medium.we all use internet at a daily basis.  Do you know why? Insecure Medium: Imagine you are sending a data.  In internet world, data are separated as packets and send to the destination.  Do you think the data directly reaching the destination?   If  you think so,you are wrong.  The packets are going through different routers.  Finally, the data is sent to the user.  In this gap, Intruders(i mean attackers) takes advantages. so who are they .the are  I.they  can see what you are sending.  Because your data are simple and easy to readable by anyone. How to secure the data? We can not stop the intruders and their activities.  But we can make our data as Unreadable for Intruders.  For this purpose, the Cryptography is introduce...

Lunix malware havoc

The Krebs DDoS attacks have proven that the IoT landscape is a fertile ground that can breed huge botnets capable of launching massive DDoS assaults. As such, it should be no surprise that malware authors are now focusing their efforts on this sector and putting out new threats in the hopes of building the next Mirai botnet. One of the latest additions to the IoT malware market is a trojan codenamed Linux/NyaDrop, recently reverse engineered by MalwareMustDie, the same researcher who discovered the Mirai malware. MalwareMustDie points out in his research that this binary appeared in May, but was somewhat simplistic and not that common. Things changed after the Krebs DDoS attacks, and a new sample has appeared on the market, with the malware’s author most likely drawn back to the IoT landscape by Mirai’s success. Just like most IoT malware nowadays, NyaDrop’s author relies on brute-forcing Internet-exposed IoT devices using their default credentials. In a conversati...

Remove virus from android

Desktops aren’t the only gadgets that can be affected by a virus. Android devices have a malware problem and it’s growing every day. If you do get a virus, you could perform a factory reset to get rid of it, but that means you’d lose all your data — those photos you shot, the saved games, the text messages, and everything else. Obviously, you want a factory reset to be your last option. So what can you do to remove a virus from Android without a factory reset? Is It Really a Virus? If your phone isn’t functioning the way it should be, there’s a chance you have some malware on it. One wrong tap somewhere and a malicious file might have been downloaded on your phone, which is leeching battery life, Internet resources, or your personal data. But it could be something else. Suppose your Android refuses to boot or crashes every time it starts up. Or maybe you can’t seem to download apps from the Play Store. These are not necessarily caused...
