Lswifi

lswifi

Windows-native CLI Wi‑Fi scanner for richer AP visibility, filtering, export, and event watching.

Why Use It

Use lswifi when you need:

• Wi‑Fi analysis from Windows without Kali/WSL monitor workflows
• richer output than netsh wlan show networks
• RSSI, AKM/cipher, RNR and IE decoding
• JSON/CSV/pcapng export for scripting and review

Quick Start

python -m pip install lswifi

# basic scan
lswifi

# stronger-signal networks only
lswifi -t -60

# only matching SSIDs
lswifi -include Office

# JSON export-friendly output
lswifi --json

High-Value Modes

# Information elements for a specific BSSID
lswifi -ies 00:11:22:33:44:55

# Watch roaming / scan / connection events
lswifi --watchevents

# 6 GHz / RNR oriented view
lswifi -rnr

# export scan results
lswifi -export

Important Limitation

lswifi is not traditional over-the-air monitor-mode packet capture. It uses Windows Native Wi‑Fi APIs, so treat it as a Windows-native survey/inspection tool, not as a full packet injection platform.
