WHAT IS WARDRIVING?

wardriving........any idea people what this is.....even the technology nut who writes poor comments in my blog will not know it ...am i right nut?

wardriving

Wardriving is the act of searching for Wi-Fi wireless networks by a person in a moving vehicle, using a portable computer or PDA.(source wiki)

this term has become famous because of the mumbai police drive to go around the metropolis looking for unsecured routers and poorly protected connections. the terrorist attacks in mumbai in november where partly blamed on the google maps. it has revealed that terrorists had hacked a tourist’s computer in order to send an email shortly before the attacks.

mumbai police calls it an awareness campaign, the police officials will educate people on the security stuff of Wi-Fi networks. and they will visit schools colleges homes to check out on the unsecured networks.

here good luck to mumbai police in their door 2 door policy but i personally think that they are deviating from what they actually need to do

also thanx to mr.krishnakanth for bringing this to light
