I'm developing a Chrome extension and is there a way to read the SSID name or Network name of the current connection from the code?

@JaromandaX any javascript that would read this info at least from Windows? – warunanc Jan 12 '16 at 05:11

I'm not aware of what you can do with chrome extensions as far as running external executables - which is what you would need to do – Jaromanda X Jan 12 '16 at 05:20

"running external executables" is not possible in a Chrome extension. Too bad – warunanc Jan 12 '16 at 05:33

There are no Chrome Extension APIs that would provide this information.
As suggested in comments, your only option is to have a Native Host module that would do it for you.
