What is wardriving?

[CarderPlanet]

Hello, future cyberstalkers! Hello, random carder. We continue to learn the basics of the DarkNet step by step. Because how can you make money in dark without even knowing the basic concepts and definitions?

Not many people know what wardriving is, although it has been around for a long time. Unlike the usual hacking methods, it is much easier to learn wardriving, since it does not require the specific disassembly knowledge required for hacking programs. However, there are only a few professional drivers, and they are encrypted. In this issue, we will open the curtain a little and talk about wardriving.

Wardriving (English wardriving - literally "military driving" or "war on wheels") is called hunting for Wi-Fi access points (you don't need to kill any animals), for those very access points that are designed for wireless connection to a local network or the Internet. The goal of the wardriver is to find someone else's point and take control of it. Actually, wardriving was born in the 50s of the last century (it was also called fox hunting) and was a completely legal type of radio sport with clearly established rules and international competitions. On rough terrain, a radio transmitter was placed in a secluded hole, periodically emitting signals (fox), and athletes armed with receivers with a directional antenna had to find it. With the beginning of perestroika, all this died. Now no one is interested in poring over the soldering iron, inventing more and more new technical solutions, and jumping like a goat .

Yes, yes, you got it right - Wardriving is the process of finding and hacking vulnerable access points of wireless Wi-Fi networks by a person or group of people equipped with a portable computer with a Wi-Fi adapter.

Wardriving isn't exactly hacking

Wardriving is not necessarily "hacking". Often, the attacker is limited to finding an open access point, but does not connect to it. Secondly, wardriving is neither externally nor internally similar to disassembling protected programs or writing viruses. This makes the practice of wardriving unlike other hacking methods in the usual sense for us. Wardriving is much more romantic than, for example, having sex (fucking) with a debugger. On the other hand, if only a few people can break programs, then almost anyone can become a great wardriver.

Wardriving is mostly done by romantics

Although there are isolated cases of theft of credit cards and other confidential information via WLAN. A wardriver can hardly have much ambition, but rather excitement and a voluptuous feeling that you have fucked someone. The vast majority of attackers act without malicious intent, perceiving it as a prank or intellectual game. But there are also real hunters for other people's traffic, from which you can extract various confidential information (mailbox passwords, credit card numbers, etc.), and just want to connect to the Internet at someone else's expense.

Some wardriving for money, but there are not very many of them. At least the pros are quietly making money on other things and don't shine. There are only a few people who design unique hardware. There are dozens of people who write software. Hundreds or even thousands use ready-made hardware/software, and even more of those who are just interested in these classes, but do not risk wardriving in practice. Someone does not need it, and someone is trite scyt.

The use of ready-made equipment does not require any theoretical training that goes beyond mouse skills, but physical fitness is highly desirable, since the calculated wardrivers in our country are almost never handed over to the good uncles of the cops – "questions" are often solved outside the legal field.

In short, that's all for today. In the following articles on this forum, I will tell you about ways to hack Wi-Fi networks in a specific and specific way. Stay tuned!
