How to get wifi passwords of neighbors

Wifi Hacking Without any Software:




Step 1: In administrator mode, open the command prompt.

netsh wlan view profile

Step 2:

In the next phase, we want to know about all the profiles stored on our computer. So enter the following command in the cmd line:

netsh wlan view profile

 

Step 3:

This command displays a list of all Wi-Fi profiles to which you've ever connected.

command prompt netsh wlan show profile

Step 4: 

I purposefully blurred several of my Wi-Fi network names in the above image. As you can see, I'm connected to eight different Wi-Fi networks. So, let's figure out the password for the Wi-Fi 'NETGEAR50' in this case, which I made up for this essay.

Step 5: 

To see the password of any Wi-Fi network, run the following command:

netsh WLAN show profile WiFi-name key=clear

The command will be like this:

netsh WLAN show profile NETGEAR50 key=clear

command prompt netsh wlan show profile wifi name keyclear

Step 6: 

The Wi-Fi password for that particular network is displayed in the security settings ' critical content section.

Method 2. IP Address Configuration:


To view the linked Wi-Fi password from your IP Address Configuration, follow the procedures outlined below:

Step 1: 

To begin, go to the connected Wi-Fi page and look for the SSID. Then, to access information, click on the I icon.

Step 2: 

There will be an IPv4 address. Write down the address and change the final part with '1', then open it in your browser.

 

e.g. Here address is 192.168.2.2, now replacing the end with ‘1’, will be 192.168.2.1. Let’s open the IP address (192.168.2.1) from your browser.

 

Note: If that doesn't work, try 192.168.2.2 or 192.168.2.31. It's great to look at the router's bottom to see what the admin login IP or URL is.

Step 3: 

To access the router admin panel, log in.

Step 4: 

Go to the Wireless basic settings page to view the Wifi password. If it appears as '****,' uncheck the box to reveal it.

Method 4. Keychain Access app:


You may also search for the password on a Mac that is presently connected to the Wi-Fi network or was previously linked to it.

Step 1: 

To discover the Wi-Fi password on your Mac, open the Spotlight search window by pressing Command+Space, then typing "Keychain Access" without the quotations and pressing Enter to activate the Keychain Access software.

Step 3

Select the "Show Password" checkbox in the resulting window. To access the password, you must first enter your username and password. 

You'll need an administrator account for this. Provide the username and password for your Mac account, assuming it is an administrator account.

Your Mac will then display the password for the Wi-Fi network.

Step 1: 

Use a QR Code on a Router to Gain Access to Someone's Wi-Fi

Step 2: 

Download a QR code scanner app for Android.

Step 3: 

Use the QR code app for Android or the camera app for iPhone/iOS to scan the QR code on the back of the router.
