NetworkManager Hotspot Open Network Without Password

[notjayfreeman]

I'm trying to make a open hotspot. When I click on NetworkManager Use as Hotspot... button, it creates a file called Hotspot in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. I cannot remove the psk password from the Hotspot file. How do I make a hotspot with no password?


nano /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Hotspot

[connection]
id=Hotspot
uuid=000000-0000-000-0000-000000
type=wifi
auto connect=false

[wifi]
ssid=kali
mode=ap
mac-address=00:11:22:33:44:55
security=802-11-wireless-security
hidden=true

[wifi-security]
key-mgmt=wpa-psk
proto=rsn;
pairwise=ccmp;
group=ccmp;
psk=e12oPcW6

[ipv6]

I use hostapd on a rasp pi running Kali to 'share' a network connection. Its fairly straightforward; apt-get it, configure it (/etc/hostapd), run it (systemctl start hostapd). This is, of course, assuming your wifi card is capable of AP mode.
