Retrieve and save all WiFi networks and passwords on the device. Cross platform windows, linux, macOS
Readme
Retrieve and save all WiFi networks and passwords on the device.
On windows uses the netsh subprocess.
On linux reads the NetworkManager files or wpa_supplicant.conf.
Cross platform:
there is also a GUI version of this tool that can be found here - WifiPasswords-GUI
NOTE: requires sudo privileges on linux only if NetworkManager is not used.
NOTE: Macos requires admin authentication for each password read, this can result in a lot of prompts for the get_passwords() function. I am currently looking for a solution for this.
Installed via pip using: pip install wifipasswords
from wifipasswords import WifiPasswords
passwords = WifiPasswords().get_passwords()
connected_passwords = WifiPasswords().get_currently_connected_passwords()
print(passwords)
print(connected_passwords)
WifiPasswords().save_wpa_supplicant('.', passwords, True, 'GB')
Provides a command line interface callable after installation with:
python3 -m wifipasswordswifipasswords ~ $ wifipasswords
To see command line options run wifipasswords -h
Can be packaged to an EXE on windows with:
pyinstaller --clean --noconsole --onefile -i <icon> wifipasswords_exe.py
The wifipasswords_exe.py file is the same as the main.py file in the package except will pause after console output is finished to prevent the terminal from auto-closing if the EXE is run directly.
Test locally with pytest -v ./tests
Currently github test runners do not have nmcli interface to access wifi data so test locally.
