encryption - Decrypting Windows Wireless Passwords using Python -
I am trying to decrypt the stored Windows wireless password in a profile xml file via Python. Let me explain how this is calling Windows using Python's win32crypt module. My problem is that I'm not valid for use in You will get that error even if You run CMD.XA as an administrator. Here's where you have a little bit about Windows, which, as Windows NT & B, I did not know: The local system account is different from the administrative privilege. To run cmd.exe with the LocalSystem account, you must install a Microsoft package named PsTools. Inside psTools, there is a program called PsExec, which is like a sudo on a little * un * x Just download the zip associated with the bottom of the Microsoft TechNet page above and open it from anywhere where you can find it. To use PsExec, Open CMD.xe as an Administrator (Open the Start menu in the bottom, type cmd.exe in the search box, and run it as admin Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter). In the User Account Control dialog box that opens, click "Continue" that opens, in the command shell, navigate to the directory where you unzip the PsTools and run "psexec.exe / s / i cmd.exe" from the EULA from PsTools After agreeing, PsTools should open a new cmd.exe shell window that runs as a LocalSystem. Any way around this error as For reference, I have retrieved the encrypted password from the Windows Vista Profile xml file to the main content key. I am using code: BTW, do not bother with complex conversions from hex to binary: In [pre> specific state error and it needs to be run using local system
psexec.exe blog post? Probably using CryptoPy or PyCrypto?
