Winter-08 Wireless LAN Audit

As defined on Wikipedia, War driving is the act of driving around an area searching for Wi-Fi wireless networks using a Wi-Fi-equipped laptop or a PDA, to detect networks. It originated in the San Francisco Bay Area with the Bay Area Wireless Users Group (BAWUG). It is similar to using a scanner for radio. War driving was named after wardialing popularized in the Matthew Broderick movie WarGames.

This is possible because individuals, due to lack of knowledge, lack of adequate information, ignorance or laziness leave their wireless access points unsecured. In many cases the devices are unsecured because the default configuration that was in place when the device was purchased is being used. This configuration often has a default SSID without WPA or WEP encryption.
