Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
WirelessKeyView's simple-looking interface belies its utility. The main feature lets you view the passwords your Wi-Fi manager has stored, but it offers more than just that. The spreadsheet-style main window shows the properties on any stored network name. Users can view not just the ASCII password, but also the Hex key, the adapter type, and the adapter GUID. If you want to copy any of the information, hit ALT Enter to open a properties window that displays it all in editable text fields.
Besides offering copy and search functions, WirelessKeyView also crams in an HTML report feature for either selected networks or the entire database. All in all, it's a great little app for revealing some of the hidden mysteries of the Wi-Fi signals you're using.
Publisher's Description
From NirSoft Freeware:
WirelessKeyView recovers all wireless network security keys/passwords (WEP/WPA) stored in your computer by the 'Wireless Zero Configuration' service of Windows XP and by the 'WLAN AutoConfig' service of Windows Vista. It allows you to easily save all keys to text/html/xml file, or copy a single key to the clipboard.
What's new in this version: Version 1.66 has added 'Last Modified' column (Works only on Windows Vista/7/8).

"it ran as advertised and worked."
Version: WirelessKeyView 1.60
Pros
i was able to retrieve what i was looking for
Cons
anti-virous did pick it up.
-
"Norton found a Trojan in it"
Version: WirelessKeyView 1.60
Pros
Didn't run it...see "Cons"
Cons
When I attempted to run this, Norton reported that it contained the ADH.2 trojan virus. Since Norton has never reported a virus in any other downloaded software over the 5 years I've used it, I chose to believe it.
Summary
Infected....wouldn't run it.
-
"Did not install"
Version: WirelessKeyView 1.60
Pros
Looked to be a good app,but
Cons
My Norton recognized it as a threat, so I did not install it.
-
"Did the job!"
Version: WirelessKeyView 1.56
Pros
Instantly revealed my WEP key in both Hex and ASCII
Cons
None that I can see.
Summary
Great Tool!
-
"Super-useful one use tool"
Version: WirelessKeyView 1.56
Pros
Easy to use, gets the job done.
Cons
Some AntiVirus programs flag it as a trojan when the worst they should be flagging it as is a hacker tool, but even that is enough to put off people who don't know what's going on. Visit the developer's site for a post on this issue.
Summary
WirelessKeyView is the kind of utility that you'd only pull out if one of your relatives had lost the piece of paper with their WiFi password on it and then call you up to 'fix the problem'. I think i've used it something like 3 times in the space of 5 years, so it's not really a money spinner, but thankfully the author is giving it away for free.
In the end it's down to whether you trust CNet enough to have tested it and found it malware free. -

-
"Works exactly as it should!"
Version: WirelessKeyView 1.50
Pros
Saved my butt! The keys to all of the connections your computer has memorized are available. If you know how to discern which key is the one to use (for example, the WEP connection's network key is in Hex format, while the WPA2-PSK connections' keys are Ascii), it's super easy to read! Took less than a second to get the info I needed.
Cons
Nothing! It was super quick and super helpful to me!
Summary
It's true; the program DOES come up as a "potentially harmful" program by my antivirus, but stay calm; all it does is look at your computer's networks and displays them. It doesn't harm your computer in ANY way. It's safe!
So if you need to find your computer's network key quickly and easily, this is definitely the program to use! I created an account just to review this particular download! -
