# Wifiscanner.py - A simple python script which records and logs wifi probe requests.
# Author - D4rKP01s0n
# Requirements - Scapy and Datetime
# Inspiration - Tim Tomes (LaNMaSteR53)'s WUDS https://bitbucket.org/LaNMaSteR53/wuds/
# Reminder - Change mon0 (around line 65) to your monitor-mode enabled wifi interface
