WlanHelper is used to set/get the operation mode (like monitor mode) for a wireless adapter on Windows.
WlanHelper tries to follow the grammar ofiwconfig, a wireless management tool for Linux. So if you renameWlanHelper.exe toiwconfig.exe, your command lines for configuring operation mode on Windows will be exactly the same with the alternative on Linux.
Managed Mode (forLinux) =Extensible Station Mode (akaExtSTA, forWindows)
Monitor Mode (forLinux) =Network Monitor Mode (akaNetMon, forWindows)
