Python scan for WiFi

Question

I was searching for a program that can scan for WiFi networks and print all of the SSIDs. I tried with scapy but I failed. I am using the pyCharm editor.

I tried this code:

from scapy.all import *
from scapy.layers.dot11 import Dot11

def packet_handler(pkt):        
    if pkt.haslayer(Dot11) and pkt.type == 2:        
        print(pkt.show())
scapy.sniff(iface="mon0", prn=packet_handler)

Solution

try pip install wifi then for scanning use

from wifi import Cell, Scheme
Cell.all('wlan0')

This returns a list of Cell objects. Under the hood, this calls iwlist scan and parses the unfriendly output. Each cell object should have the following attributes: ssid, signal, quality and more. and for connecting use

cell = Cell.all('wlan0')[0]
scheme = Scheme.for_cell('wlan0', 'home', cell, passkey)
scheme.save()
scheme.activate()

scheme = Scheme.find('wlan0', 'home')
scheme.activate()
