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.

Famous quotes containing the word networks:
“To be perfectly, brutally honest, those of us who are still carrying diaper everywhere we go are not at our most scintillating time of life....We need to remember that at one time in our lives, we all had senses of humor and knew things that were going on in the world. And if we just keep our social networks open, there will be people ready to listen when we once again have intelligent things to say.”
—Louise Lague (20th century)
