Re: WTF? "hacker craze"??

It's too late. The term "hacker" has evolved and now in the public eye means "Low life crook, pathetic virus writing geek, common criminal" etc

War-driving will quickly become one with "Crime" too.

These days, being equated as a "hacker" is almost the same as being called a "Terrorist"... just the way the Government and Corporations want it.

This is what gets us legit wardrivers into trouble. The Public needs to know the difference from wardriving and these so called wannabes.

Legit wardriver. Disabling TCP/IP on your card and not connecting to AP's. Doins surveys of what wireless is out there. Remember connecting to any wirless network with out permision is a crime. Like me, I tend to travel a lot and I leave my lappy on and disable TCP/IP and use a program that tells me what wireless networks are out there. Then I transfer to a site that has a list of AP all over the world. Its for surveying purpose only. That is what I consider a legit "wardriver"
