[@TattedFaceJoey]

If it doesn't work at 16:20, try: if (filename.startswith("Wi-Fi") or filename.startswith("WiFi")) and filename.endswith(".xml"): My XML file starts with "WiFi". Could also make filename lowercase to avoid any further discrepancies.

[@SmartTv-dy3vc]

You could also check the .xml file and see what it starts with(mine was Wi-Fi instead of wifi) and try that, it worked for me

[@mohamednayeem2602]

so basically, this can be done only if we are connected to the network or we can get all the available networks which are available nearby?

[@KS_0_6]

same ques works for some tho check it out

[@tyrannicalguy7262]

Nice!!!! But if we were to use this snippet in commercial network systems where there could be a lot of wifi's available, this could take a lot of time since the code is of O(n^4) complexity. This could be bought to O(n^2) by subtle changes to increase execution speed.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this actually O(n!)? And it could be just O(n). It actually baffles me how someone could write such a inefficient code and call it an tutorial. I don’t know this channel and maybe he is a great programmer and it is done on purpose so some noobie doesn’t do anything stupid on more than cca 15-20 passwords. Anyway it is in python so efficiently wasn’t the point.

[@viniciuspizzirani7005]

Nice work, mate! Well explained and pretty informative as well. After watching the whole video, there's one thing i would like to know: How can i protect myself from this commands? Can i block a system from accepting that commands or anything like that? What steps should i take after knowing that this kind of stuff is possible?

[@Cahangir]

What goes around,comes around. If you don't harm others, you will most likely be protected from the harm of others. And in case someone manages to steal your password,just ban their MAC adress through the router settings.

[@vivalafrance5627]

You can just don't have python installed so that can't really run python on their computer.

[@kcomarcos]

What about online interpreters?

I still have a lot to learn but I glad I am learning python, I am understanding the script, what words like append mean, understanding what a for loop does, etc. Then I am learning more things and how to use python for hacking. Being a script kitty sucks kids. I have never been one and never will be.

Very well you're explained, but we re needed to kali Linux video, thanks 🧐

[@ZoroniteTech]

This is unrelated (and probably illegal), but, a while ago, I was put in a refuge for children out of town because my mom was in the hospital as a result of medical negligence during a surgery. Anyway... to get to the point... I wrote a keylogger in python so I could get their wifi password when they typed it in because they wouldn't tell us what it was.

[@pe9ter571]

Does not work for me it says that there is not file that has that name. Wasted a lot of my time on this.

[@klote82]

At the end of September we went to a country fair in our city out in the country. The only Wi-Fi was locked down, so I found a point of sale terminal that was unlocked went in control panel and got the Wi-Fi password. :D

[@luismarrero9293]

thanks for the code very informative and cool. One question, this code is good for windows machines only or will work for other system? I am assuming is for windows only. if we use a windows command will take one line code netsh wlan export profile key=clear to get the file and then the password. I dont see the benefit using python instead of windows command. Sorry I am learning (super beginner) I just want to understand the advantage of using Python. Thanks again

[@sampathreddy7492]

Bro did u tried this

[@maxkammerer3376]

Some advantages: 1: in Python you can send it somewhere as he did if there are multiple people involved 2: you can put that script on a usb Stick and with some small chnages to the stick you can automatically get all passwords from another Laptop 3: you do not have to do stuff Manual. 4: it is good for learning and having fun with it.

[@munaourhossain8512]

If it only gives you password of your saved wifi or wifi that you connected before then we can use like 3 cmd in cmd promt to get it easily...

[@simonleonard5431]

It's really badly written code. Every time a filename is added to the list it opens every file in the list and processes it before processing the new file.

[@maxkammerer3376]

Very good video, but wouldn't you get every ssid and password multiple times if there was more than 1 ssid? Because of the for loop at line 29 you append to list then go through the whole list if there was a second ssid it would do all the things to the first ssid as well or am i wrong? I would have seperated the stuff after line 28 into a new line.

[@boradagdelen3846]

You're right, the for loop at 29 should be outside the first for loop, so no indent

[@0baakYT]

I had this issue. Resolved by creating a dictionary for the wifi profiles

Okay so you never said how to prevent this if you are a person who has someone near them stealing their wifi. I have the issue where Samsung TV and Mediatec with Mac address 28:84:fa:9b:b9:e2 as well as multiple other devices which are not mine keep showing up in my network under Windows, but when I got o my router it does not see those MAC addresses so I cannot block them. I pay a lot of money for my internet and I have a strong password on it, within 8-10 hours no matter what password I put on the SSID and WIFI I get new devices which are not mine popping up in my network. Also I always see them from Windows under Network with a Mac address, but no IP address. How can I stop this. I am using WPA2-PSK encryption this is a PITA changing my WIFI password because I have about 10 IOT devices including Lights and other devices and Every time I change the password I have to spend about 2 hours setting them back up to connect, please help.

Did you figure this one out allready? It's a good Idea to google search your errors when you program.. Everybody does it. -Programming is 10 percent typing and 95 percent google searching... Anyways- python indentations are important... You use tab spaces to communicate what blocks that should be executed and in what order.
