Here's how to convert a WPA-PSK hex key to a passphrase:

Understanding the Conversion

Tools for Conversion

You have a couple of options:

Example Using wpa_passphrase

  1. Install wpa_passphrase: If you don't have it already, you might need to install the wpa_supplicant package, which includes wpa_passphrase. The installation process varies depending on your operating system.

  2. Run the Command:

    Bash

    wpa_passphrase <SSID> <hex_key>
    

    Replace <SSID> with your network's name (SSID) and <hex_key> with the 64-character hexadecimal key.

    Example:

    Bash

    wpa_passphrase MyNetwork 1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
    

    The output will show the generated passphrase:

    network={
        ssid="MyNetwork"
        #psk="generated_passphrase"
        psk=1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
    }
    

Important Notes

If you have a specific hex key you want to convert, provide it, and I can guide you through the process using a command-line tool if you prefer that method.
