Need a 64 Character WPA Key?

Need an easy way to generate 64 character pre-shared hex keys for setting up WPA on your wireless network?

If you’re running a unix/linux capable box with xxd installed, like say Mac OS X you can just paste this command into the terminal and hit enter.

dd if=/dev/random bs=1 count=32 2>/dev/null |xxd -c 256 -ps

That will give you a random 64 character hex key. Enjoy.
