Thursday, April 26, 2012

To start writing this article let me create the case’s example which I hope it useful to gain your understanding about what I want to deliver.


The Case

You are on vacation to your home town. During the vacation, you bring together your notebook because you want to use the wireless network (WiFi) facility in your mother’s house. 

After a couple of hours you be in your mother’s house, you start take out your notebook from its bag. You power on the notebook and wait for a couple of minutes to allow its system software fully loaded. Then you try to access the wireless network (WiFi) with intention to connect to the Internet.

But, the connection is unsuccessful because you need the WiFi security key to access the wireless network (WiFi) facility.

You try asking your mother and your family members about the security key, but unfortunately all of them give you the answer that you don’t want to hear, we forgot what the password is!!!!.


So, if you are in the above situation, what you need to do to overcome it? I has an answer for this question and encourage you to read this article if you need the solution.

sebenarnya utility nih akan display security key dalam 2 bentuk...satu dalam bentuk key (hex)... satu lagi dalam bentuk key(ascii)...

selalunya key (hex) lebih panjang dari key (ascii)...cuba check dan try dua2 sekali iaitu key(hex) dan juga key (ascii)...
