In CEH v13 Module 11: Hacking Wireless Networks, Wardriving is explained as the practice of driving around with a Wi-Fi-enabled device to detect open or vulnerable wireless networks.
Key Characteristics of Wardriving:
Involves using laptops, smartphones, or specialized devices with Wi-Fi antennas.
Tools like NetStumbler, Kismet, or WiGLE may be used.
Often includes GPS tagging of discovered networks.
Used to identify unsecured access points for later exploitation.
Option Clarification:
A. GPS mapping: May be used with wardriving, but not the act itself.
B. Spectrum analysis: Measures RF spectrum usage; not network discovery.
C. Wardriving: Correct – searching for Wi-Fi networks while driving.
D. Wireless sniffing: Captures traffic; can happen during wardriving, but broader in scope.
