WORLD OF WARDRIVING
A Warding is person who moves in a vehicle with a laptop - or a PDA like ipone or BlackBerry - which has a software that detects Wifi networks.
If an unscrupuious wardriver finds an "open" network, one that is not password - protected, he could use it for a range of nefarious activities.
These networks can also be used for identty thefts and corporate espionage.
Software for wardriving is freely available on the internet or even pre-installed in the device itself.
Unless caught in the act,it's virtually impossible to trace a wardriver.
