# TCM-Sec's Windows WiFi Extractor

{% embed url="<https://github.com/hmaverickadams/Windows-WiFi-Extractor>" %}

## About&#x20;

* Contributed to TCM Security's development of their Windows WiFi Extractor tool.
* The program is designed to dump WiFi SSIDs and plaintext keys from Windows hosts utilizing the built-in netsh utility.
* Forked the original repo and converted the code to run in-memory only, as the original code created files (and therefore traces) on the victim computer.
* As a result: removed reliance on hard-coded integer accessors to parsed XML data and moved to a human-readable JSON format.

## Postmortem

* When you get excited to contribute to a cybersec superstar's repo because you see an obvious code optimization, don't forget to erase hard-coded sensitive information from testing prior to making a pull request... Whoops! 😬
