It provides detailed information about each detected network. The results are displayed on the serial monitor.\n\n## Features\n\n- Scans for visible WiFi networks.\n- Displays detailed network information: \n  - **SSID**\n  - **BSSID**\n  - **RSSI** (signal strength)\n  - **Channel**\n  - **Encryption Type**\n- Uses an ESP8266 module for lightweight operation.\n- Output is displayed on the serial monitor for easy review.\n\n## Requirements\n\n- An **ESP8266** module.\n- **Arduino IDE** (with ESP8266 board package installed).\n- A USB cable to connect the module to the PC.\n\n## Usage\n\n1. **Set up the tool**:\n   - Install the necessary libraries and board package for your ESP8266 in the Arduino IDE.\n   - Open the provided `.ino` file in the Arduino IDE.\n   - Select the correct board type (generally NodeMCU 1.0).\n   - Upload the code to your ESP module.\n\n2. **Using the tool**:\n   - Open the **Serial Monitor** in the Arduino IDE (set to 115200 baud rate).\n   - After the module starts, press the `s` key to start the WiFi scan.\n   - The serial monitor will display a list of detected networks with the following details:\n     - SSID\n     - BSSID (MAC address)\n     - RSSI (signal strength)\n     - Channel\n     - Encryption type (WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc.)\n\n3. **Interpreting the results**:\n   - The tool will show information for all visible networks.\n   - Hidden networks are **not detected** as of now.\n\n## Example Output\n\n```plaintext\n===============================================\n              ,---------------------------,\n              |  /---------------------\\  |\n              | |                       | |\n              | |     Simple            | |\n              | |          WiFi         | |\n              | |             Enum      | |\n              | |                       | |\n              |  \\_____________________/  |\n              |___________________________|\n            ,---\\_____     []     _______/------,\n          /         /______________\\           /|\n        /___________________________________ /  | ___\n        |                                   |   |    )\n        |  _ _ _                 [-------]  |   |   (\n        |  o o o                 [-------]  |  /    _)_\n        |__________________________________ |/     /  /\n    /-------------------------------------/|      ( )/\n  /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ /\n/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ /\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n      Developed by Shreyas-Malhotra      \n===============================================\n      Press 's' to start the scan...      \n===============================================\nScan complete.
