Wardriving is the act of searching for Wi-Fi wireless networks by a person in a moving vehicle, using a portable computer, smartphone or personal digital assistant (PDA). Software for wardriving is freely available on the Internet, notably NetStumbler, InSSIDer, Vistumbler or Ekahau Heat Mapper〔(Ekahau Heat Mapper )〕 for Windows; Kismet or SWScanner for Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, and Solaris; and KisMac for Macintosh. There are also homebrew wardriving applications for handheld game consoles that support Wi-fi, such as sniff jazzbox/wardive for the Nintendo DS/Android, Road Dog for the Sony PSP, WiFi-Where for the iPhone, G-MoN, Wardrive,〔(Wardrive )〕 Wigle Wifi for Android, and WlanPollution〔(WlanPollution )〕 for Symbian NokiaS60 devices. There also exists a mode within ''Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops'' for the Sony PSP (wherein the player is able to find new comrades by searching for wireless access points) which can be used to wardrive. Treasure World for the DS is a commercial game in which gameplay wholly revolves around wardriving. == Etymology == ''Wardriving'' originated from wardialing, a method popularized by a character played by Matthew Broderick in the film ''WarGames'', and named after that film. War dialing consists of dialing every phone number in a specific sequence in search of modems.〔http://www.spamlaws.com/war-driving-attack.html〕 ''Warbiking'' is similar to wardriving, but is done from a moving bicycle or motorcycle. This practice is sometimes facilitated by mounting a Wi-Fi enabled device on the vehicle. ''Warwalking'', or ''warjogging'', is similar to wardriving, but is done on foot rather than from a moving vehicle. The disadvantages of this method are slower speed of travel (resulting in fewer and more infrequently discovered networks) and the absence of a convenient computing environment. Consequently, handheld devices such as pocket computers, which can perform such tasks while users are walking or standing, have dominated this practice. Technology advances and developments in the early 2000s expanded the extent of this practice. Advances include computers with integrated Wi-Fi, rather than CompactFlash (CF) or PC Card (PCMCIA) add-in cards in computers such as Dell Axim, Compaq iPAQ and Toshiba pocket computers starting in 2002. More recently, the active Nintendo DS and Sony PSP enthusiast communities gained Wi-Fi abilities on these devices. Further, many newer smartphones integrate Wi-Fi and Global Positioning System (GPS). ''Warrailing'', or ''Wartraining'', is similar to wardriving, but is done on a train/tram/other rail-based vehicle rather than from a slower more controllable vehicle. The disadvantages of this method are higher speed of travel (resulting in fewer and more infrequently discovered networks), and often limited routes. ''Warkitting'' is a combination of wardriving and rootkitting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 first = Alex )〕 In a warkitting attack, a hacker replaces the firmware of an attacked router. This allows them to control all traffic for the victim, and could even permit them to disable SSL by replacing HTML content as it is being downloaded.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 first = Steven )〕 Warkitting was identified by Tsow, Jakobsson, Yang, and Wetzel in 2006. Their discovery indicated that 10% of the wireless routers were susceptible to WAPjacking (malicious configuring of the firmware settings, but making no modification on the firmware itself) and 4.4% of wireless routers were vulnerable to WAPkitting (subverting the router firmware). Their analysis showed that the volume of credential theft possible through Warkitting exceeded the estimates of credential theft due to phishing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wardriving」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
