Project Description:
*****

In this video, I am going to demonstrate how to retrieve WiFi passwords using the ESP8266 WiFi module, But before we get started, let me tell you.

This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only. I do not promote or encourage any illegal activities, including phishing or hacking. Any techniques or methods discussed are intended to be used responsibly and ethically. Always respect others’ privacy and obtain proper permission before accessing any networks or devices. Remember, unauthorized access to WiFi networks or personal information is against the law and can have serious consequences. Please use the information in this video wisely!

A few days ago, I used a web portal to change the SSID and password on my ESP32 wirelessly. I not only saved the router’s WiFi credentials in the EEPROM, but I also managed to access those WiFi credentials from the EEPROM.

Right at this moment, an exciting idea came to my mind. I realized that someone could potentially retrieve the WiFi password of a nearby WiFi router or mobile hotspot. So, I decided to test this in a controlled environment to demonstrate how such a security vulnerability works—and to show you how to protect yourself from it.

Remember, this is an educational demonstration meant to raise awareness about WiFi security.

So, without any further delay, let’s get started!
