Find out the passkey that was attempted on the ESP8266 AP
Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2018 3:48 pmHi there!
I have an ESP8266 (Nodemcu) and I'm able to create a WEP Access Point using the module.
What I'd like to know is, if it's possible to know if there was an attempt to join my network and what password was attempted...
So the nodemcu will obviously be turned on, and wait for someone to attempt to join the network. When they do, they'll attempt a password like "letmein" etc.
I would like to know if it's possible to actually get that "letmein" passphrase that was attempted. Is it possible? If so, how? One possible way I was thinking would be using wireshark to capture unencrypted WEP packets transmitted to the ESP, but I'm not sure whether password-attempt packets actually contain any useful information or not.
Thanks,
Coto
