Wicd network connection manager store its configurations files under <code>/etc/wicd/</code>, wifi key password are stored in <code>wireless-settings.conf</code> but newer version of Wicd does hide the config files.

Used directory are (this may vary from a distro to an other):

<ul>
<li><code>/usr/lib/wicd/</code> for the libraries </li>
<li><code>/usr/share/wicd/</code> for the shared config</li>
<li><code>/etc/wicd/</code> for the main config </li>
<li><code>/var/lib/wicd/</code></li>
<li><code>$HOME/.wicd/</code></li>
<li>etc.</li>
</ul>

The following part of the code from <a href="https://git.launchpad.net/wicd/tree/wicd/wicd-daemon.py" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>wicd-daemon.py</code></a> do hide the config file (keys etc) by giving them a <code>0600</code> permission code which mean that only the owner of the file can read/write the files, root may see the files if the daemon is run as root user otherwise if the daemon is executed as a different user (wicd or else) only that user can see the files...

<pre><code> # Hide the files, so the keys aren't exposed.
 print("chmoding configuration files 0600...")
 os.chmod(app_conf.get_config(), 0o600)
 os.chmod(wireless_conf, 0o600)
 os.chmod(wired_conf, 0o600)
 os.chmod(dhclient_conf, 0o644)
</code></pre>

One solution is to browse the files as root or the user that is running the wicd daemon.

An other possible solution is to emulate the targeted wireless with the access point feature of any smartphone, you would use the same network name (SSID) on the phone as the one you want to recover, then use wicd gui to display the stored password.

 own and add to this directory. If you do this, take it please contact
 the makers of Wicd (see below).
 
 /var/lib/wicd/configurations/ This directory contains individual configuration files for each
 encrypted connection you make with Wicd.

Wireless-settings.conf man: (translated)

<blockquote>
 DESCRIPTION
 
 This file contains configuration information for the wireless network
 interfaces in Wicd.
 
 This file is here: /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf
 
 SETTINGS
 
 "bssid =" This value can be found with iwconfig (8).
 
 "essid =" This value can be found with iwconfig (8).
 
 "hidden =" This option sets whether the ESSID of the network is broadcast or not.
 
 "channel =" Good channels depend on the country. This value can be found with iwconfig (8).
 
 "mode =" This value can be found with iwconfig (8).
 
 "enctype =" This can be the value of any encryption template that is in / etc /
 wicd / encryption / templates /.
 
 "key =" Ensure that this file can only be read by root.
 
 "encryption_method =" WEP | WPA | WPA2> This value can be found with iwconfig (8).
 
 "automatic =" This option sets whether Wicd should connect to this network automatically.
 
 "ip =" Use this option if you have a fixed IP address for your system.
 
 "netmask =" This setting only applies if a fixed IP address is set above.
 
 "broadcast =" This setting only applies if a fixed IP address is set above.
 
 "gateway =" This setting only applies if a fixed IP address is set above.
 
 "use_static_dns =" ​​ True = use fixed DNS servers instead of accepting what the dhcp server
 offers..TP
 
 "use_global_dns =" ​​ True = use the global DNS servers that are in wicd-manager-settings.conf (5). This option only applies if "use_static_dns = True" 
 
 "dns1 =" Static DNS address as "use_static_dns = True" and "use_global_dns =
 False"
 
 "dns2 =" Static DNS address as "use_static_dns = True" and "use_global_dns =
 False"
 
 "dns3 =" Static DNS address as "use_static_dns = True" and "use_global_dns =
 False"
 
 "use_settings_globally =" &lt;0 | 1> Wicd keeps track of whether a connection should be established
 automatically based on bssid. This ensures that you do not
 accidentally connect to another network that is not yours but has the
 same essid - for example, there are a lot of commercial routers in use
 with "linksys" as the essid.
 
 0 = Do not use global settings
 
 1 = Use global settings
 
 "beforescript =" This defines a script that must be started before Wicd connects. This
 script must be a Bourne compatible script and must be executable.
 
 IMPORTANT - scripts must ONLY be writable by root and must be in a
 directory that is only writable by root.
 
 "afterscript =" This defines a script to be started after Wicd has established a
 connection. This script must be a Bourne compatible script and must be
 executable.
 
 IMPORTANT - scripts must ONLY be writable by root and must be in a
 directory that is only writable by root.
 
 "predisconnectscript =" This defines a script that must be started before Wicd breaks the
 connection. This script must be a Bourne compatible script and must be
 executable.
 
 IMPORTANT - scripts must ONLY be writable by root and must be in a
 directory that is only writable by root.
 
 "postdisconnectscript =" This defines a script to be started after Wicd has disconnected. This
 script must be a Bourne compatible script and must be executable.
 
 IMPORTANT - scripts must ONLY be writable by root and must be in a
 directory that is only writable by root.
 
 The "use_settings_globally" option according to how individual networks are configuration stanza starts. If the option is
 "0" (do not use settings globally), then the stanza's top line will be
 the bssid of the access point (in this format):
 
 [00: 15: 3E: 87: D3: 68]
 
 If the "option is set to" 1 "(use settings globally), then the first
 line of the stanza will be in this format:
 
 [essid: UA Public Wireless Network]

I have the password for a wifi connection stored on my computer, using wicd. However, I am wanting to check what the password is but I don't know how to read this when not in reach of this network. I have found the relevant file for this network in /var/lib/wicd/configurations but I can't read the password from there. Within the wicd I can normally view the password in plaintext but only if the network is in the list of available networks. Any suggestions?

Wicd configuration file: how to read the password?

我有一个无线连接的密码存储在我的电脑上，使用wicd。然而，我想检查密码是什么，但我不知道如何阅读这个网络无法达到。我已经在/var/lib/wicd/配置中找到了这个网络的相关文件，但是我无法从那里读取密码。在wicd中，我通常可以使用明文查看密码，但只有当网络在可用网络列表中时才能查看。有什么建议吗？
