# TCM-Sec's Windows WiFi Extractor {% embed url="" %} ## About * 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...
