Building a Wi-Fi scanner in Python using Scapy that finds and displays available nearby wireless networks and their MAC address, dBm signal, channel and encryption type.

Have you ever wanted to build a tool to display nearby wireless networks along with their MAC address and some other useful information ? Well, in this tutorial, we are going to build a Wi-Fi scanner using Scapy library in Python.

If you’re on this field for a while, you might have seen airodump-ng utility that sniff, capture and decode 802.11 frames to display nearby wireless networks in a nice format, in this tutorial, we will do a similar one.
