Interestingly, Windows saves Wi-Fi passwords in plaintext. The wifipass
command-line utility is thus a simple Wi-Fi password extractor for Windows written in Rust.
Note
One could technically use the netsh
command to achieve the exact same thing; wifipass
is just a simpler shorthand.
Caution
As wifipass
deals with highly sensitive Wi-Fi passwords, it is worth reiterating that this project and its contributors shall not be held liable for damages and leaked information. See the MIT license for more details.
Until the try_find
feature is stable, wifipass
requires a nightly Rust compiler.
# Run `wifipass` with optimizations enabled.
cargo run --release
This project is a rewrite of John Hammond's original implementation in Rust. The wifipass
codebase improves on this by better leveraging "Rusty" patterns and idioms (that were missed in the video).
