Reconnaissance of Wireless Networks
The purpose of wireless reconnaissance is to locate a wireless network and to collect information about its configuration and associated clients. Equipping a car with a laptop and then drive around, what is known as wardriving, is the most practical way to find wireless networks.
A well-equipped wardriver uses a laptop computer with a wireless card, an antenna mounted on the car, a power inverter, a connected GPS receiver, and can connect to the internet wirelessly.
The laptop computer and the wireless card must support a mode called monitor or rfmon.
