A platform-independent WiFi scanning library for getting SSID + BSSID + RSSI from nearby access points. It should work on most Linux installations as well as Windows and OS X.
wifiscan works by calling the OS-specific Wifi scan utility and parsing the output. For Linux this is iwlist, for Windows it is netsh.exe and for OS X it is airport. Other systems are not supported at the moment (although, as long as they are Linux-based I believe you can install iwlist).
go get -u github.com/schollz/wifiscan/...
You can use it in your Go code as:
wifis, err := wifiscan.Scan()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for _, w := range wifis {
fmt.Println(w.SSID, w.BSSID, w.RSSI)
}You can also use the command-line tool as:
$ WIFI=wlan0 wifiscan
SSID BSSID RSSI

Note: When using with Linux you will need to add sudo to get a full scan.
