I had a distinct memory that

wifi_survey

had stopped working on macos (due to Apple changing the permissions around this?). Trying it just now I found that it works and

wifi_networks

does not. Is that expected? And is there some entitlement or profile that can allow

wifi_networks

to work?

https://github.com/osquery/osquery/issues/7206 looks like we've just had it in our backlog

Ah, thank you.

Generally apple has been locking down the various APIs that lead API data. Mostly the

bssid

. So that's going generally stop appearing. wifi_survey probably works aside from that. There are a couple of apple system tools that leak the info. We report them to Apple, and they slowly get fixed.

Ah, so the

wifi_survey

never stopped working besides for the

bssid

.

That's my understanding, yes.

Thanks for clarifying y'all.

wifi_networks

looks liked a pretty simple fix, but I could quite make it work in the c++ code, and filed an issue instead of a PR.

Iirc you were not mistaken earlier @zwass there was a period where querying wifi_survey resulted in a seg fault
