	Wardriving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wardriving is often a surreptitious activity: this long-range wardriver leaves only his shadow.
		Wardriving was named after wardialing (popularized in the Matthew Broderick movie WarGames) because it also involves searching for computer systems with software that would use a phone modem to dial numbers sequentially and see which ones were connected to a fax machine or computer, or similar device.
		For example, a wardriver in the United Kingdom might be caught with controversial clause of "use of a computer for a purpose for which one does not have permission".

	Warchalking and Wardriving: Overview
		Wardriving took that identification from the backpacks and footpaths onto the road, with people engaging in 'drive-by' discovery of open and closed wireless access points.
		Wardriving was initially conducted manually - some reports featured tales of ballpoint pens and Pringles can antennae - but came of age in 2001 with development by Marius Milner and Peter Shipley of dedicated AP software that readily integrated GPS location data with databases of detected APs.
		We do wardrive often, for the purpose of collecting statistical data of the overall protection level of wireless networks, obviously staying within the legal limits, and we have to say that the picture is worrying.

	Jeff Duntemann's Wardriving FAQ
		Wardriving is the gathering of statistics about wireless networks in a given area by listening for their publicly available broadcast beacons.
		Wardriving as we know it was first developed by Pete Shipley in April 2001.
		The wardriving community is (as you'd expect) heavily connected via the Internet, and you can meet a lot of interesting and extremely skilled network and radio people by becoming part of the community.

	Wardriving (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Wardriving is an activity consisting of driving with a laptop in one's vehicle detecting Wi-Fi wireless networks.
		The practice is nothing like the earlier of demon dialing which is the random or sequential of phone numbers to find data lines the of which are logged in order to future attempts to hack into the computer on the other end.
		Wardriving is frequently pointed out as an of questionable activity but it should be that from the point of view of machines involved everything is working exactly as Netstumbler sends probes the access point responds.

		Wardriving has been a growing underground hobby of sorts with hackers for the past two years--and a useful tool for security analysts like Erik Berls for just about as long.
		Wardriving's guerrilla appeal moves beyond hacker status, because to be a hacker you not only have to acquire truly arcane skills, you have to enjoy sitting in front of a computer, legendarily in some dark basement, for hours on end, eating day-old pizza.
		Wardriving, on the other hand, is like a road trip where you get to take the Internet with you.

	Wardriving: you can look, but don't touch
		There is, however, a new ethical debate surrounding wardriving, whether it's legal, and whether it serves a larger purpose.
		One way to find and alert owners of vulnerable wireless networks is to wardrive your own neighborhood, then talk about wireless security to those neighbors with insecure networks.
		These active wardrivers are withholding specific address information and publishing only stats, but a few rogues still haven't gotten the memo.

	Syngress Publishing - WarDriving: Drive, Detect, Defend
		The term WarDriving originates from WarDialing, a term introduced to the public by Matthew Broderickâs character, David Lightman, in the 1983 movie âWarGames.â WarDialing is the practice of using a modem attached to a computer to dial an entire exchange of telephone numbers to locate any computers with modems attached to them.
		WarDriving employs the same concept, although it is updated to a more current technology; wireless networks.
		WarDriving became more well known when the process was automated by Peter Shipley, a computer security consultant in Berkeley, California.

		Wardriving gets its name from the past practice of using a computer to dial through long lists of telephone numbers searching for data rather than dial tones.
		The first Worldwide Wardrive was carried out from 31 August to 7 September and the second one is taking place between 26 October and 2 November.
		Wardrives are taking place in many American cities including Boston, San Diego and Des Moines as well as in Norway, Barcelona and Johannesburg.

	Definition of War driving
		Wardrivers do not engage in malicious activity, the average wardriver is typically only out to log and collect information from the Access Points (AP's) they find while driving.
		In fact, when people unfamiliar to wardriving see how many unsecured access points there are and how easy it is to find them, they often want to make their own access points more secure.
		However, there are many wardrivers who, while securing their own networks, are delighted to offer wireless internet access to whomever wants it, with the exception of those who use too much bandwidth.

		Durante l'ultimo week-end di settembre siamo saliti in macchina in compagnia di due giovani professionisti di sicurezza IT, esperti di protezione delle comunicazioni wireless.
		I termini, curiosi, di warwalking ("wonder and walking") e di wardriving - l'equivalente in macchina - derivano dal termine underground 'wardialing' (scansione continua di numeri telefonici tramite l'utilizzo di programmi appositi per scoprire sistemi informatici e centralini non protetti al fine di individuare una linea telefonica utile da utilizzare).
		Il fenomeno del wardriving, per ora solo negli Stati Uniti, consiste però in qualcosa di diverso dal (semplice) spionaggio.

		In what prosecutors say is likely the first criminal conviction for wardriving in the U.S., a Michigan man plead guilty Wednesday to a federal misdemeanor for using the Internet through an open wi-fi access point at a Lowe's home improvement store in suburban Detroit.
		He was cleared of more serious charges of participating in a scheme organized by his roommate and another man to later use the wireless network to hack into Lowe's computers and siphon credit card numbers.
		Timmins immediately used the network to check his e-mail, not knowing that it wasn't intended for public access, he claimed in an a telephone interview with SecurityFocus Thursday.

		We are working on designing a web-based system for fellow wardrivers to upload their kismet logs, dynamically generate coverage maps and track discovery statistics based on user.
		We did a couple runs around North Raleigh and of Downtown Raleigh around Christmas time, and new maps have been generated from that (also note that all data collected before we began using the yagi antenna is no longer included in the maps for the sake of consistency).
		So until then wardriving is on hold, will focus instead on refining the information on this site and perhaps get the new kernel (2.4.20) and debug some of the lingering issues on my new install (sound, onboard NIC).

	terrulen: WarDriving
		"WarDriving" is the act of driving around a neighborhood with a laptop or some other portable computer listening for open wireless internet connections.
		Which means that if you set up your WiFi enabled laptop on the passenger seat of your car, start up a "WarDriver" or "Stumbler" program to turn on the antenna and listen, and then drive around slowly for a while, you can discover a patchwork of open wireless access points.
		WarDriving was done with a garage door opener.
