How to crack wifi password?


You are at a friend's house that you do not want to say the password of its Wi-Fi network to keep you from play on the web with your laptop or your smartphone? Forgot the password of wireless connection of the office and not know how to recover it? You are in the right place at the right time.

I'm in fact to explain how to crack WiFi password using a pair of free solutions that will allow you to discover the wireless password stored or typed on the PC in a very quick and easy. I recommend it, use it just for fun (with a friend, in fact) or networks to which you are authorized to access.

How to crack wifi password 

The easiest way to crack WiFi passwords is of course to have a computer that is connected now or in the past has connected to the Wi-Fi which to discover the key. In this case, you may be able to reveal the password with two different solutions.

The first is to use WirelessKeyView, a small free program that retrieves all the stored Wi-Fi passwords on your PC. The second involves the recording of the data network access via a free keylogger program (method a bit 'articulated but effective).

To use WirelessKeyView , do not need to do is connect to the program's website and click on the item Download WirelessKeyView (if you use an operating system 32-bit) or on the item WirelessKeyView Download for x64 (if you use an operating system 64-bit) to download the program on your PC. When the download is complete open, double clicking on it, the file you just downloaded (eg wirelesskeyview-x64.zip ) and start the program WirelessKeyView.exe .

In the window that opens, you will find lists the data of all Wifi connections that have been used on your computer (including their access keys ). All ready to be stolen in an incredibly easy and fast.


Now we come to the second method to crack WiFi password , what a little 'more complicated. Then connected to the Softpedia website and click on the first button Download and then on the item External Mirror 1 for download keylogger program Revealer Keylogger Free Edition on your PC. When the download is complete open, double clicking on it, the file you just downloaded ( rkfree_setup.exe ) and install it on your computer by clicking again on Next . If the antivirus says he detected a threat, do not worry because it is just a false positive due to the functions of the software you are about to install (consentilo adding it to the exceptions).

At the end of the procedure, Revealer Keylogger Free Edition will start automatically. To begin to monitor and record everything that is typed on the keyboard, click REC on the top left, and hide the program by clicking on the icon in the shape of an eye.

When you are convinced that you have typed the Wi-Fi password again and you are looking for the opportunity to get your hands on the computer, return window visible Revealer Keylogger by pressing the key combination CTRL + ALT + F9 on the keyboard of your PC and identifies the voice connection to a network to get to know the password for the Wi-Fi network in use.

In case you do not have access to a computer using the wireless network to which you want to find the password, you can try to steal the key from your smartphone. There are many applications that allow you to unhinge the Wi-Fi connections of different operators (also Italian), but know that use them on other people's networks is a crime.I recommend!

How to speed up Windows 8 PC


You bought a new PC with Windows 8 and find it a bit too slow compared  to your expectations? Have you Upgraded to Windows 8 from a previous  version of the system and PC performance dropped considerably? Then I  have some tips that might help you.

There are a set of applications and maintenance procedures that can help you discover how to speed up your Windows 8 PC without too much  effort.I Do not promise miracles,but if you put into practice all the  advice I am going to give you and continue to "treat well" your  computer, the results could be extremely positive.


If you want to know how to speed up your Windows 8 PC because you have  bought a new computer equipped with this OS and you seem a bit slow, I  would say to start "cutting" all unnecessary software that usually  come pre installed in PCs from companies that sell in the electronics  store and supermarkets. I refer to trial versions of antivirus,  multimedia programs, additional toolbar for your browser and other  programs.

To accomplish this task, I suggest you to use Should I Remove It?.  This is a free application that analyzes all the software installed on  your computer and informs the user which you can or even should remove  because unnecessary or dangerous. To download Should I Remove It? on  your PC, connect to the program website and click on the Download (Free) and then click Download "Should I Remove It?"

Another way to speed up your Windows 8 PC is disable automatic startup  of programs that start automatically when switching on the PC. It is a  very simple but effective practice, which is recommended for all  versions of the Microsoft operating system Windows 8 but must be done  in slightly different ways.

To disable unnecessary programs from Windows 8 starting automatically,  you must invoke the task manager by right click on an empty spot on  the taskbar and selecting task manager from the menu that appears. In  the window that opens, click on more details, select the Startup tab  and disable programs that you feel superfluous – you don't want to  start automatically each time Windows – by clicking the Disable  button.


Other very effective methods to keep your computer always snappy are  free up hard disk space by deleting unnecessary files from your PC,  and eliminate the errors that exist within the registry. Two  operations that are able to do so egregious the free software CCleaner.

To download CCleaner on your PC, connect to the program website and  click on Download button. When the download is complete open, double  clicking on it, the file you just downloaded (e.g. ccsetup403.exe)  and, in the window that opens, set English from the  language  selection menu,then Click Next, Next, Install and Finish to complete  the installation and run CCleaner. Uncheck the Google Toolbar entry if  you do not want to install additional toolbars to your browser.

To free up disk space using CCleaner for Windows 8,all you have to do  is to select the items you want to remove from your PC using the  options in the left sidebar (leave everything as is unless you know  where to put my hands!) and click on the Start Cleaning button. To fix  the problems in the registry, instead, select the card register and  click on the first problems Find and then click Fix selected.


Despite your efforts and despite the advice above, you are not able to speed up your PC Windows 8? Then you may try to restore the system  state back to factory settings using the restore feature in the  Microsoft operating system (that i will discuss in another post).

In this way, you can reset the settings of your applications and run  a PC without formatting and without erasing the data.
