Dаrren Kitchen Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hello all. I'm looking for a tool to extract WEP and WPA keys from Registry of a Windows box that has already been configured to attach to a network. Via Google I found: http://evolvedlight.co.uk/?p=10 But it does not work for extracting the WPA key from my laptop. I've also tried asterisk revelers, Protected Storage viewers and the like with no success. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I've seen similar questions elsewhere but no-one has been able to resolve it. I'm interested myself so will start investigating again. Maybe someone else here has experience of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I have XP Pro SP2 with a WPA key. The soiftware picked up a hex value for the key but no ASCII. I tried decoding the hex to ASCII and it gave me rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dаrren Kitchen Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 My WPA key only showed as HEX too, but it let me connect so its all good. Just save the HEX key to a txt file, take it to your other laptop and connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Wow - that's interesting. I never thought of trying that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natural_orange Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 The Hex Value is the key WEP keys are a hex key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychokiller Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 u can use SolarWinds Free tools for this it dumps all Key of the networks to you in their format of hex and give u the tool to convert it to ASCII. check this : http://www.solarwinds.net/downloads/index.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mubix Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 You could actually write your own, just watch what registery keys windows changes when you connect to a new network. I'm making it sound simple, and it could be that murphy gets in the way, but that "should" be all it takes..... .... might make a good addition to the USB Switchblade..

zephid Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The Hex Value is the keyWEP keys are a hex key We where talking about WPA keys, but it's correct everything we type or see on a computer is HEX, it's just a question on how we use it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickarse Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I know this was featured on the site... but I am trying to input the extracted hex key back into the registry on another pc via a batch... Do you guys know which reg value it takes it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestar Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Magnum IP emailed be about this tool: hxxp: www. nirsoft. net/utils/wireless_key. html I was looking for something like this and it worked perfectly. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stomosvary Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I used Windiff to compare the registry before and after changing the wep to see where in the registry it was... found it but of course it's encrypted. Tried the Nirsoft util and it definitely decrypts the wep from the reg, but that doesn't help if you want to put the key (or a new one) back in the registry. Of course the Nirsoft util has the crypt/cypher all worked out so if want to mess with the source from the Nirsoft that would be an option except that he didin'tt provide the source for that particular util for some reason - even though it's provided with nearly all the other apps. Not that it even matters but it was fun to try and figure out. -Spencer Money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
