-#fork of node-wifi-scanner
+# Fork of node-wifi-scanner
 
-This fork is used to improve the ability under linux to scan networks
-It tries to use sudo if accessible
+This fork is used to add the ability to scan as sudo under linux.
+Why the fork?
 
-[Node-Wifi-Scanner Github](https://github.com/ancasicolica/node-wifi-scanner/)
+- Add ability to execute command with prefix 'sudo' to get iwlist working on linux!
+- Uses promise instead of callback in module exports to make it easier and prevent callback hells.
+- Add `encrypted:boolean` to the output, to determine if the network is encrypted (Currently only works under iwlist/linux, otherwise just returns false)
+
+
+To use sudo, just pass `true` to the scan method and it will use sudo.
+For ex.
+```js
+const wifiScan = require("node-wifi-scanner");
+let result = await wifiScan.scan(true);
+```
+
+Beforehand you should add the iwlist scan command to the sudoers file.

+### Installation
+`yarn add git+https://git.gaminggeneration.de/tobiash/node-wifi-scanner`
+or `npm install git+https://tobiash@git.gaminggeneration.de/tobiash/node-wifi-scanner`
+
+
+### Type definitions
+I also tried to add type definitions (see /types/index.d.ts), but as far as i know i did it wrong haha.
+Since this is my first ever module (-fork) i don't really know how to do it. - Let me know in the issues tab or create a pull request :)
+But i added jsdoc to the functions to add the ability to make the coding process a bit cleaner.

-### Command Line
-
-Run the script ```scan``` in the bin folder.

-### Code
-
-    const scanner = require('node-wifi-scanner');
-
-    scanner.scan((err, networks) => {

 The tool returns an array with objects, each object representing a network with the following properties:
 
 * channel: WiFi channel
 * ssid: SSID of the network (if available)
 * mac: MAC Address of the network access point (if available, otherwise empty string)
 * rssi: signal strength
+* encrypted: boolean - Is network encrypted?
 
 In contrary to other wifi scanners no information about security is returned. This is due to the very different implementation
 of the command line tools which do not allow a flawless detection.
