This blog is here to document the wardriving and warwalking the streets of Toronto to find open/unsecure WLAN access points. "When you just need a Net connection anywhere in TO, look here."

1. Introduction & Background

1.1 Introduction

The 802.11 networking standard, also known as, "Wireless Ethernet", WiFi, and
Wireless LAN has become very popular with Internet users and Corporations
looking for a cost-effective LAN extension that is easy to implement and
provides reliable service. The most popular implementation (as of April 2002)
is 802.11b. The 2.4Ghz range, 11Mb speed wireless LAN variety. 802.11b
encompasses all of the aforementioned characteristics, yet poorly implements
one of the most fundamental aspects of networking, the security. What is the
point of providing this type of service to your employees or even your
family if you cannot guarantee that their communications are secure. At least
with a wireless phone, someone cannot drive by your house and rack up your
phone bill. This is exactly the problem with Wireless Ethernet. People can
drive, walk or other wise approach the area that the wireless equipment can
transmit in, and share your internet access or connect to your computer.
This process is known as "wardriving", or "LAN jacking".

Welcome to Warchalking! Warchalking is the practice of marking a series of symbols on sidewalks and walls to indicate nearby wireless access. That way, other computer users can pop open their laptops and connect to the Internet wirelessly. It was inspired by the practice of hobos during the Great Depression to use chalk marks to indicate which homes were friendly.
