wpa-psk-cli

This is a command-line utility to compute the WPA pre-shared key of a Wi-Fi SSID and passphrase. See also the corresponding Rust library wpa-psk.

This project's original source code is hosted here.

Usage

Hash a typical SSID and passphrase:

$ wpa-psk home password123
0xde811641af2c516ffd35cc6f851b3abf03c7c84fc703cfb580f1c0456943cdc0

Hash special albeit valid credentials:

$ wpa-psk "123abcABC.,-" "456defDEF *<:D"
0x8a366e5bc51cd5d8fbbeffacc5f1af23fac30e3ac93cdcc368fafbbf63a1085c

Hash invalid credentials:

$ wpa-psk --force bar 2short
0xcb5de4e4d23b2ab0bf5b9ba0fe8132c1e2af3bb52298ec801af8ad520cea3437

Installation

You can install the wpa-psk utility using Cargo:
