Wireless Security Settings

Greetings,

I'm also curious how to go about this via an image.

Would booting the image in a virtual machine with all external access disabled and checking directly work for you?

It's in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters

I don't think that would work. In a virtual machine there's no Wireless Hardware, so you cant click on Interface->properties …

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters

These settings are only used when the Zero Config Service from windows is used, nothing there when you use the Vendor provided Software.

Hello, everyone!

I've got another question what about Windows Vista? There's no such key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WZCSVC) in Vista.

Where can I find information on Wireless Networks in Windows Vista registry? Should I see it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wlansvc?

Thanks

I'm also trying to find this information on a vista system, and have no WZCSVC key. The wireless adapter seems to be configured using the Intel ProWireless software, but I still can't find any registry keys/config files which list and SSIDs.

Did anyone ever solve this one?

One way to test this is to install Windows fresh/naked on a system without the wifi card installed (most laptops will allow easy access to the internal wifi card from a cover on the bottom of the system). Use RegShot - http//sourceforge.net/projects/regshot/ to take a snapshot of the reg. Install the card and drivers and connect to a wifi network and then do another RegShot to compare keys.

For the Vista/Windows 7 wireless info, the key(s) are at

SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\NetworkList\\Profiles.

Right, and it's specific to Windows Mobile/Windows CE Embedded.

That parser is specific to the date/time data within the values, and not about security settings.
