Version: 0.0.1

The x86 binary was compiled with Visual Studio 2013, so you'll need the Visual C++ 2013 redistributables installed to run it as is. Of course, you can also compile wlanscan.cpp with the compiler of your choice as well.

I wrote this when I couldn't find an existing tool to scan for wireless networks. The built-in Windows netsh.exe won't actually trigger a new scan, it can only show previously-found networks which may be stale.

Features like parsing profiles ended up in there as this also became a fun introduction to Wlan apis :)
