BastiDood / wifipass

A plaintext Wi-Fi password extractor for Windows written in Rust.

Introducing wifipass

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.

Development

Until the try_find feature is stable, wifipass requires a nightly Rust compiler.

# Run `wifipass` with optimizations enabled.
cargo run --release

Special Thanks

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).
