How to decode any Andriod Wi-Fi Hotspot Name?

Hello There! You must have noticed that when you use the portable hotspot of your android phone for the first time, the name of the network (default name) is a bit weird. It basically contains some uppercase and lowercase characters mixed with some digits like U2Ftc3VuZ1Bob25l or UmVkbWk=.. but have you ever wondered what these codes/ names really mean? What information do they carry about you? Well, let me first tell you that those are not just some random codes, they do carry some information of you, which can be easily found by anyone within your phone's wifi range when your hotspot is turned on. 

So, what information does it carry? Well, by decoding the name, one can know the device's name that is most of the time the user's real name.

                                                                                                                                                                                                 

In this case, it is the device's name but most of the time, we, or sometimes even the device changes it's name to our real name.

Lets get into the main topic now.

How to decode it?

well, the process is very simple!!

It is nothing, but simply a base 64 code, which is a common character encoding system and very simple to crack.

To crack it, follow the steps : 

1. Go to This site
