Everybody have access to ABD!
Just activade it at developers settings
Pull with ABD the file
/data/misc/wifi/ wpa_supplicant.conf
to your PC. There are saved all wifi-passwords

And how do you explain, that it's possible to make a complete ADB Backup of your System without root?

- It's possible


Try this:

adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf C:\Users\*username*\Desktop\wpa_supplicant.conf

(also read here how it works)

Pls report back

You can't access to /data folder without root ...
You need first to give root access to Adb shell
This is what I know
Any way I tried what you say on a rooterd device I get permission denied
When I tried on non-rooted device I got no such file or directory
How to take full backup with ADB ?

I'm in the same situation. I can't root this device yet (HTC Desire 500 dual sim), well, i last time i tried was a couple of months ago.

For now, I'll just have to ask for a password like a normal person. ouch !!

Guys, may be samsung is doing it, but my wifi passwords in /data/misc/wifi /wpa_suppliciant.conf are crypted ! Some code is written on all pass fields!
I know most of the passwords, but i need one which i've forgot . Is there a APK ot other method to decryp them ?! May be windows application ? If i out other passwords codes, and real passwords to crack the edncryption ?

From what I've seen, the "encryption" is the password in HEX, just use a HEX to string converter to get the actual password.

One way to get password is
1. Go to settings and backup your app data,WiFipassword.
2.take a rooted mobile and reset it.
3. Add your gmail account where you backuped your data.
4.after backup download password recovery and backup app and there is password.
Thanks

So admin/root is not required to write/change the password file, but admin/root is required to read/view it? So many complaints about this. Why not encrypt or password protect that file? Clearly many people want access to their own info without rooting. Allow a choice.

The goal isn't keeping authorized users from seeing passwords that they entered, but rather keeping apps from allowing people to access or share access to networks which they are not authorized to be on.

For example, if anyone could access these passwords then anyone could get the password to a secured school or business network. That's why administrator access is needed to view passwords but not add new networks (since ideally, adding a network won't break anything major).

The issue is that device manufacturers believe that most people don't have a need for administrator privileges, and that it's safer if they don't have access to them. That's really what rooting does: giving you (and apps that you allow) administrator (in Linux terms: Super User/root) access. Using ADB gives you some administrarive read access to files, since at that point it's known that you have some authorized access to the device, and that you are not a malicious app.

With Samsung devices if it shows hex code for password, you need to open /system/build.prop file with a text editor and change the line ro.securestorage.support=true to false and reboot. Now your app shows actual passwords and not hex string.

Yes, it shows. But it only affects newly created entries (new networks) and not the old ones. To see passes for existing SSIDs you should retype their passwords again, which makes this option useless.

 

[shallmann]

Sorry that it's 'useless' for you. But it does remove hex code for future connections, maybe someone else will find it useful.

Your just a b.it.ch aren't you? I'm going to report you? Really? Let's grow up and tell us when you finish middle school. Not everyone is out to do "evil"
