Output

Yes, you can use the command line on your MacOS laptop to retrieve the Wi-Fi passwords of networks you've previously connected to. You'll be using the `security` command to access the keychain where these passwords are stored. Here's how you can do it: 1. **Open Terminal**: You can do this by searching for "Terminal" in Spotlight (Command + Space and then type "Terminal"). 2. **List Wi-Fi Networks**: You can list all Wi-Fi networks you've connected to with the following command: 

1
2
   /usr/sbin/networksetup -listpreferredwirelessnetworks en0
Here, `en0` is the default network interface for Wi-Fi on most Macs. If your Wi-Fi isn't `en0`, you can find the correct one by running `ifconfig` and searching for the interface tied to your Wi-Fi connection. 3. **Retrieve Wi-Fi Password**: Once you have the name (SSID) of the Wi-Fi network, use the following command to retrieve the password: 
1
2
   security find-generic-password -ga "SSID_NAME" | grep "password"
Replace `"SSID_NAME"` with the actual name of the Wi-Fi network. 4. **Authenticate**: When you run the above command, you may be prompted to enter your Mac user password because accessing the keychain requires authentication. This will output something like: 
1
password: "your_network_password"
Remember to replace `"your_network_password"` with your specific network's password upon execution. **Note:** Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to access the keychain and that you're using your account with administrative privileges. This method only allows you to retrieve passwords for networks you have previously connected to and for which passwords are stored in your keychain.

Output

Yes, you can use the command line on your Mac to find the Wi-Fi passwords of networks your computer has previously connected to. Here’s how you can do it using the Terminal application: 1. **Open Terminal**: You can find Terminal in the Applications > Utilities folder, or by searching for "Terminal" in Spotlight (Cmd + Space). 2. **Find the Wi-Fi network password**: Use the following command to retrieve the password of a known network: 

1
2
   security find-generic-password -ga "NETWORK_NAME" | grep "password:"
Replace `"NETWORK_NAME"` with the SSID (name) of the Wi-Fi network whose password you want to find. 3. **Authenticate**: You may be prompted to enter your Mac’s administrator password to allow access to your keychain. Type your password and press Enter (note that you won’t see the password characters as you type). After running the command, if the network is stored in your Keychain, you should see a line that includes the password in the output. Note that this method only works for Wi-Fi networks that your Mac has previously connected to and that the credentials are stored in your user’s Keychain. If the network was set up under a different user account or if the password was never saved to Keychain, this method won't retrieve it. Always make sure you have the appropriate permissions when accessing and viewing stored passwords.

Output

Yes, you can use the command line on your MacOS laptop to view the saved Wi-Fi profiles and their passwords. Here's how you can do it using the Terminal: 1. **Open Terminal:** - You can open the Terminal from Applications > Utilities > Terminal or by using Spotlight Search (press `Command + Space` and type "Terminal"). 2. **List all Wifi Networks:** - To get a list of all Wi-Fi networks your Mac has connected to, run the following command: 

1
2
     /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "print :KnownNetworks" ~/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
- Alternatively, use this command: 
1
2
     networksetup -listpreferredwirelessnetworks en0
- Replace `en0` with the appropriate network interface if it's different on your system. You can check which one to use by listing network services: 
1
2
     networksetup -listallhardwareports
3. **Get Password for a Specific Network:** - If you know the name of the Wi-Fi network (SSID) and want to retrieve the password, use the `security` command. Replace `WifiNetworkName` with the SSID of the Wi-Fi network: 
1
2
     security find-generic-password -D "AirPort network password" -a "WifiNetworkName" -gw
- This command should prompt you for your Mac user password since it needs elevated permissions to access the keychain where the passwords are stored. By using these commands, you can retrieve the stored Wi-Fi passwords from your Mac. Remember to use this information respectfully and within legal boundaries.

Output

Yes, you can use the command line on your MacOS laptop to retrieve saved Wi-Fi passwords, provided you have administrative access. You can do this using the `security` command, which allows you to access the information stored in your Mac's Keychain. Here’s how you can enumerate Wi-Fi profiles and get their passwords: 1. **Open Terminal:** You can open Terminal by searching for it in Spotlight (press Command + Space and type "Terminal" and hit enter). 2. **List Saved Wi-Fi Networks:** Use the following command to list all the Wi-Fi networks you have connected to: 

1
2
   /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :RememberedNetworks:" ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.wifi.plist | grep SSIDString
This will display the names (SSIDs) of the Wi-Fi networks. 3. **Get the Password for a Specific Network:** To find out the password for a specific Wi-Fi network, use the following command: 
1
2
   security find-generic-password -D "AirPort network password" -a "<Wi-Fi_SSID>" -gw
Replace `<Wi-Fi_SSID>` with the actual SSID of the Wi-Fi network you’re interested in. You will be prompted to enter your Mac’s user password, as administrative access is required to retrieve passwords. ### Note: - The above command will only work if the password is stored in your Keychain and you have the correct administrative permissions. - Always handle this information securely, especially if the device or network is shared with others.

Open Terminal: You can find Terminal in your Applications folder under Utilities, or you can search for it using Spotlight by pressing `Command + Space` and typing "Terminal". 2. To view a saved Wi-Fi password, enter the following command, replacing "YOUR_WIFI_NAME" with the actual SSID (network name) of the Wi-Fi network: 

1
2
   security find-generic-password -ga "YOUR_WIFI_NAME" | grep "password:"
3. You may be prompted to enter your Mac user account password to authorize the action. This is necessary because reading passwords from the Keychain requires administrative privileges. 4. If your Wi-Fi network name includes spaces, make sure to enclose it in double quotes. 5. The password will be displayed in the output preceded by "password:". This command uses the `security` tool, which interfaces with the macOS Keychain to retrieve stored passwords for Wi-Fi networks. Note: You need administrative privileges to run this command successfully, and it will only show passwords for networks you have connected to before and for which the password was saved to your Keychain. Remember to handle Wi-Fi passwords and sensitive information carefully to avoid unauthorized access to your networks.
