Android N Name Is Android Nougat

HIGHLIGHTS

• Google had invited users to help name Android N
• Android N will bring improvements like multi-window support
• No word yet on Android N release date beyond "this summer"

Google has finally announced the full name of Android N. The next version of Android will be called Android Nougat.

The Android Nougat name continues the tradition of naming major Android releases after desserts. It all started with Android 1.5 Cupcake, followed by Android 1.6 Donut, Android 2.0 Eclair, Android 2.2 Froyo, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The pattern continued with Android 3.0 Honeycomb, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, Android 4.4 KitKat, Android 5.0 Lollipop, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Last month at its annual developer conference Google I/O, the company had invited users to help name Android N. It's not clear if the Android Nougat name was the popular choice among the suggestions, or it's something Google narrowed down on its own. Interestingly, Nougat was the third most popular choice in a poll of our own.

Android N will bring improvements like multi-window support, enhanced notifications, revamped doze, number blocking, and more.

Google made the Android Nougat announcement via Twitter but there's no definite word yet on the release date of the new Android version other than the "later this summer" timeline announced earlier.

Before Thursday's announcement the word nougat represented a family of confections made with sugar or honey, roasted nuts, whipped egg whites, and sometimes chopped candied fruit.

How To Find Wi-Fi Password Using CMD Of All Connected Networks

Whenever we connect to a WiFi network and enter the password to connect to that network, we actually make a WLAN profile of that WiFi network. That profile is stored inside our computer along with the other required details of the WiFi profile.

These steps work even when you are totally offline or you are not connected to the particular wifi you are looking the password for.

How to know the WiFi password using cmd:

• Open the command prompt and run it as administrator. 

• In the next step, we want to know about all the profiles that are stored in our computer. So, type the following command in the cmd:

netsh wlan show profile

This command will list out all the WiFi profiles that you have ever connected to.

In the above picture, I have intentionally blurred some of my WiFi networks’ name. As you can see, there are eight WiFi networks that I connect to. So, let’s go and find out the password for the WiFi ‘NETGEAR50’ in this case which I created intentionally for this article.

• Type the following command to see the password of any WiFi network:

netsh wlan show profile WiFi-name key=clear

• Under the security settings, in the ‘key content’, you see the WiFi password of that particular network.

Besides knowing the password, you can also use this result to further optimize your WiFi. For example, Under the profile information, you can see mac randomization is disabled. You can turn on mac randomization feature to avoid your location tracking based on the device’s MAC address.

Here is how to turn on mac randomization on Windows 10:

• Go to settings and click on ‘Network & internet’
• Choose the ‘WiFi’ in the left pane and click on the advanced option.

• Turn on the ‘Random Hardware Address’ feature under this settings. If your wireless hardware does not support this feature, the “Random Hardware Addresses” section will not show up at all in the settings app.
• Once you have turned this on, you are done.

Also, under the connectivity settings, in radio type, you can see the whole list. Channel interference could be another reason for a slow WiFi. So, next time, you might also like to change the radio type settings for a better speed.

As far as radio type is concerned, you can also change that in your router for a better connection or connectivity. For this purpose, we have a dedicated article on to increase WiFi speed by choosing correct WiFi channel.

If you are also aware of some more tricks and tweaks like this, please put them in the comment below. We would be happy to feature some of those in our next articles.

History of Hacking: 10 Best Hackers From The Past And What Happened To Them

History of Hacking:

The history of hacking goes back to 1960s when early hackers used to hack into the automated electronic telephone system into giving free calls and unapproved access. Until the 1980s, a series of hackers began emerging out with their DIY devices often named as blue boxes to emulate a phone company signalling tones and make free telephone calls.

John Draper, one of the best hackers, unlike what we can think of, is in very bad shape because of some poor business decisions. Some say, he literally begs for his living but, thanks to his supporters who are running a ‘Saving Captain Crunch’ campaign to fund his livings.
