Shh! Peeping behind Passwords!
If you are at your friend's place and his laptop is connected to their Home Wi-Fi, you can have a sneaky peak at the Wi-Fi password, if you are alone with his PC. Or, to be frank, this can come as a help hand if you forgot your own's Wi-Fi password. Don't call this a Hack, as this is a mere way of stealing, not by using your technical and manipulation skills. A hack takes hours of concentration and patience, however this requires a bit of impatience and crudeness.
- Just a right click at the Wi-Fi icon in the system tray -> Network and Sharing Center.
- 'Change adapter settings' on the left above side.
- Right click the Wi-Fi icon and view the Status.
- Click Wireless Properties and navigate to Security tab.
- Tap 'Show Characters' and then be happy.
Disclaimer:
- The PC must be connected to that Wi-Fi network at that point of time.
- For information and educational purposes only, never exploit this technique to befool administrators in corporate places.
- Don't blame me if you spoil your relationships with your friend.
- And Beware Neighbours!
