Question about Wardriving...


Recommended Posts

I was wondering if it was possible to wardrive without really driving. I would buy a PCI slot card with Wireless capability, and try to access a wireless network within the city. Is this possible?

Well, no, but I think I'm close enough to the University here in town to access their open wireless network for the students... and I'm close to a few huge IT companies.

Get a pocket pc and use minustumbler, you could walk around and carry that....

hehe...

Yeah, that's called WarWALKING :D So technically you can't Wardrive without driving :D

You maybe able to pick up their networks from your house but depends on how far you are.

you'd have better luck getting in on a computer-inexperienced neighbor or something...

ISU has an open wireless network....sweeet. Gonna make between classes fun this fall. Where exactly is it, or is it generally anywhere?
and I'm close to a few huge IT companies

Luckily ours here in town is closed up pretty tight....hopefully.

If your university is anything like mine, the wireless areas are limited and highly inaccesible from outside of campus...

/edit

Changed image size and attached it. Image waaaay too big
