What is a .WG file?
A WireGuard config sets up a fast, modern VPN tunnel.
- Did you know
- WireGuard, merged into the Linux kernel in 2020, is prized for being simple and fast.
- WireGuard was created by Jason A. Donenfeld and uses modern cryptography including the Noise protocol, Curve25519 and ChaCha20.
- Its config is a short INI-style file with an [Interface] section and one [Peer] block per remote, each peer identified by its public key.
- What Analyser reads
- Inspect security and crypto files: PEM private/public keys (RSA/EC/Ed25519, PKCS#1 vs PKCS#8, encryption), OpenSSH .pub with SHA-256 fingerprint, PuTTY .ppk, PKCS#10 CSR, X.509 CRL, PKCS#7 bundles, OpenVPN/WireGuard configs, Java KeyStores, Apple .mobileconfig/.mobileprovision, Windows .reg (with autorun flagging), and pcap/pcapng captures - warning when a private key or secret is present.
- Depth of analysis
- .WG is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .WG file
- Drag a .WG file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
