'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8d
Since I'm new to python, I watched a tutorial on the internet. I understood the code and wanted to run it on my own computer. But I encountered this error.
import subprocess
import re
command_output = subprocess.run(["netsh", "wlan", "show", "profiles"], capture_output = True).stdout.decode()
profile_names = (re.findall("All User Profile : (.*)\r", command_output))
wifi_list = []
if len(profile_names) != 0:
for name in profile_names:
wifi_profile = {}
profile_info = subprocess.run(["netsh", "wlan", "show", "profile", name], capture_output = True).stdout.decode()
if re.search("Security key : Absent", profile_info):
continue
else:
wifi_profile["ssid"] = name
profile_info_pass = subprocess.run(["netsh", "wlan", "show", "profile", name, "key=clear"], capture_output = True).stdout.decode()
password = re.search("Key Content : (.*)\r", profile_info_pass)
if password == None:
wifi_profile["password"] = None
else:
wifi_profile["password"] = password[1]
wifi_list.append(wifi_profile)
for x in range(len(wifi_list)):
print(wifi_list[x])
Giving error like that. Although I understand the error a little. I don't know how to do that. Like I said, I'm fairly new to python and programming.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\ASUS\Desktop\wifi_passwords.py", line 27, in <module>
command_output = subprocess.run(["netsh", "wlan", "show", "profiles"], capture_output = True).stdout.decode()
