	War dialing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		War dialing or wardialing was a technique in the 1980s and '90s by which a computer would repeatedly dial a number (usually to a crowded modem pool) in an attempt to gain access immediately after another user had hung up.
		However, the popularity of the film among computer enthusiasts led to the term being commonly used for what is more precisely known as demon dialing, which figures prominently in the movie.
		An identical technique was sometimes used to get the first call for prizes in radio "call-in" shows, thus leading to the adoption of random "fifth caller," "seventeenth caller" etc. by radio stations to circumvent this practice.

		Network Stumbler is a popular Windows utility for war driving that scans for 802.11b networks and logs all the signals it locks on to--including the real SSIDs, the AP's MAC address, the best signal-to-noise ratio encountered and the duration of time the network was accessed.
		War drivers are the cowboys of the "Wireless West," taking advantage of everything from the casual drive-by of a completely unprotected access point for free Web surfing to capturing proprietary data.

		The proliferation of wireless access points has spawned a whole new activity called "war driving," in which people cruise the streets looking for "hot spots" where a wireless signal leaks out into public space.
		The good-guy faction of the war driving community seeks wireless hot spots mainly for the thrill of the hunt, and to alert businesses and the public about the security risks of improperly configured access points.
		You even can use war drivers' own tools against them by turning the tools around and using them proactively to audit and monitor the security of your access points--letting you find any vulnerabilities before potentially hostile war drivers do.
