Wardriving involves using a vehicle equipped with a Wi-Fi enabled computer and software like NetStumbler or Kismet to detect wireless networks. The locations of networks are logged along with details like the SSID and channel number. Wardrivers are advised to obey traffic laws, respect private property, and not use collected data for personal gain. Network administrators can protect their wireless networks by enabling encryption, setting strong passwords, using MAC address filtering, and disabling remote administration features.

3.  Wardriving is searching for Wi-Fi wireless
networks by moving vehicle. It involves using
a car or truck and a Wi-Fi-equipped
computer, such as a laptop or a PDA, to detect
the networks.
 Many wardrivers use GPS devices to measure
the location of the network find and log it on a
website. For better range, antennas are built
or bought, and vary from omnidirectional to
highly directional.

 Kismet for Linux
 KisMac for Macintosh.

10. Do Not Connect
Obey traffic laws
Obey private property and no-trespassing
signs
Don't use your data for personal gain
 Be like the hiker motto of 'take only pictures,
leave only footprints
 Speak intelligently to others
 Avoid Auto Connection
If/When speaking to media, remember you
are representing the community

11.  Enable encryption on your access point.
 Set the router access password.
 Enable MAC Address filtering.
 Don't disable the 'SSID Broadcast'.
 Disable remote login.
 Disable wireless administrating.

12.  Most hackers or wardriving hobbyists use freeware tools such as
NetStumbler, or Kismet.
 These software programs can be used for the wholly legitimate
purpose of helping network administrators make their systems
more secure. They work by detecting the service set identifier
(SSID) number that wireless networks continuously broadcast to
identify themselves to their authorized users.
 Commercial services such as Wi-Finder provide maps of wireless
networks that provide free or paid public Internet access.
