WiFi Scanner CLI – Educational Pentesting Tool

This project is a Python-based WiFi scanner designed for educational purposes and legal penetration testing practice. It allows users to scan nearby WiFi networks and explore their details in a clean Command-Line Interface (CLI).

Key Features:

• Scan and list nearby WiFi networks with detailed information including SSID, BSSID, Signal Strength, Channel, Band, and Authentication type.

• Navigate networks using keyboard arrow keys for an interactive CLI experience.

• Easily extendable to add new features for penetration testing or network analysis.

• Fully educational and legal, intended for learning and testing in controlled environments only.

• This tool is ideal for pentesters, network enthusiasts, and Python learners who want to understand WiFi network reconnaissance and develop their own security tools.

Usage:

1. Run the script using Python:

   python wifi_scanner.py

2. Navigate the WiFi networks list using your keyboard:

   Arrow Up / Arrow Down – Move between networks

   Enter – View detailed information for the selected network

   PgUp / PgDn – Scroll long lists if available

⚠️ Important: This tool is designed to work fully via keyboard interaction, so a mouse is not used for navigation.
