  1. Wardriving Paul Manning Wireless Security, Spring 2013

  2. Defining Wardriving • A statistical approach to war driving: the act of moving around a specific area and mapping the population of wireless access points for statistical purposes • The popular Hollywood and popular media view of war driving: the act of locating and possibly exploiting connections to wireless local area networks while driving around a city or elsewhere

  3. Wardriving sites • Wardriving.com • Wardrive.net • WiFi Hotspots • WIGLE • The Wireless Database Project • FON • Wikihow.com • Youtube.com • WardrivingOnline.com • Wisegeek.com

  4. Wardriving Past and Present • Data points divide into two separate sets: • A. the traditional WAP attached to a WLAN • B. the smartphone, tablet, router, laptop, printer etc. • War driving is it a Crime? • Depends on the jurisdiction and the police authority • Tool Sets also divide into two separate sets: • Laptop • Embedded as part of your smartphone or iDevice

  5. Finding Open Points • Finding Open points during war driving with economically exploitable data was a straight forward x = id. • In the current environment this equation has changed to x = (id) – (id – in), where x is a subset or union of the total number of devices with wi-fi, those attached as a WAP and those attached to a WLAN.

  6. Wardriving Conclusion • Wardriving to find exploitable WAP with WLAN is not longer a h = w = 1 but now the criminal enterprise must add and additional step: • Locate the union of the two sets, WAP attached to device and WAP attached to a WLAN. • Wardriving is no longer as economically beneficial an expercise.
