This blog post demonstrates the Hak5 Bash Bunny 'WiPassDump' payload which, when plugged into an unlocked Windows workstation, automates running "netsh wlan export profile key=clear" to export saved WEP/WPA/WPA2-PSK wireless profiles and plaintext passphrases; the author details setup, language/keyboard considerations, test results (including that it can work from a standard user account), and recommended mitigations such as avoiding PSK on corporate networks, locking workstations, using full disk encryption, and restricting USB access.
