Getting Wi-Fi profile information

I'm using Windows 8.1 which doesn't have a tool (with a GUI) to manage wifi network profiles. So I'm writing one which will help me. I did some googling and found Managed Wifi API, and with the help of a tutorial I managed to put this code together:

foreach (WlanClient.WlanInterface wlanIface in client.Interfaces)
{
    foreach (Wlan.WlanProfileInfo profileInfo in wlanIface.GetProfiles())
    {
        string profileName = profileInfo.profileName;
        ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(profileName);

        string profileXML = wlanIface.GetProfileXml(profileInfo.profileName);
        XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.LoadXml(profileXML);
        var NSManager = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable);
        NSManager.AddNamespace("d", "http://www.microsoft.com/networking/WLAN/profile/v1");
        XmlNode node = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("//d:WLANProfile/d:MSM/d:security/d:authEncryption/d:authentication", NSManager);

        item.SubItems.Add(node.InnerText);
        Profiles.Items.Add(item);
    }
}

Getting the list of saved network profiles and printing them on a ListView. I have two problems. One is how to get the full profile information using Managed Wifi API? Because the only thing I can get is the profile name. There is no documentation in the site.

The second problem is, since I can't get the full network information using the API, I used the API to print the profile info in XML format and then parse the XML and read it. An example XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<WLANProfile xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/networking/WLAN/profile/v1">
    <name>MEDO PUB</name>
    <SSIDConfig>
        <SSID>
            <hex>4D45444F20505542</hex>
            <name>MEDO PUB</name>
        </SSID>
    </SSIDConfig>
    <connectionType>ESS</connectionType>
    <connectionMode>manual</connectionMode>
    <MSM>
        <security>
            <authEncryption>
                <authentication>WPA2PSK</authentication>
                <encryption>AES</encryption>
                <useOneX>false</useOneX>
            </authEncryption>
            <sharedKey>
                <keyType>passPhrase</keyType>
                <protected>true</protected>
                <keyMaterial>someReallyLongStringLike500+chars</keyMaterial>
            </sharedKey>
        </security>
    </MSM>
</WLANProfile>

I need to get the wifi password but I think it is encrypted. How can I get the actual password or decode the encrypted password?

Update: I found two links: Exposing the WiFi Password Secrets and [C++] Dump wireless passwords but I'm not sure if they work, or rather how to implement them in C#.

[Flags] public enum WlanProfileFlags { /// <remarks> /// The only option available on Windows XP SP2. /// </remarks> AllUser = 0, GroupPolicy = 1, User = 2, GetPlaintextKey = 4 }

/// <summary> /// Gets the profile's XML specification. Key is unencrypted. /// </summary> /// <param name="profileName">The name of the profile.</param> /// <returns>The XML document.</returns> public string GetProfileXmlUnencrypted(string profileName) { IntPtr profileXmlPtr; Wlan.WlanProfileFlags flags = Wlan.WlanProfileFlags.GetPlaintextKey; Wlan.WlanAccess access; Wlan.ThrowIfError( Wlan.WlanGetProfile(client.clientHandle, info.interfaceGuid, profileName, IntPtr.Zero, out profileXmlPtr, out flags, out access)); try { return Marshal.PtrToStringUni(profileXmlPtr); } finally { Wlan.WlanFreeMemory(profileXmlPtr); } }
