Do you war drive?

[Keefe]

Who here has actually gone war driving?

Post your setup and experiences here!

i haven't, but i just ordered an 802.11b that i got for free (5 bucks shipping) from buy.com. I might have to try this out and see how it works . . (this could be fun..)

[Keefe]

How did you get the card for free?

Keefe

bensbargains.net it's actually a rebate for $40, a little more than selling price :P

it's old now, but it might still be good. look on this archive page: http://bensbargains.net/old/arc3.shtml DAMN! you can get free shipping now if you're a new customer (they didn't have that when i ordered). enjoy!

ok i f**king hit backspace on my bigass post..basically here it is shortened:

we do it all the time, my friend busted his SMA connector on his 5dbi avaya car antenna..

i'm not living there anymore and now i got a car down in california where i just moved. i'm going to build a car-puter soon. here are some good relevant links:

fuck i hate hitting back on posts.

and wardriving on open networks is not illegal, if they are not using WEP there is no effort for security and it is considered an open system. if you start messing with intellectual property on the network however, on a persons machine, it is illegal. my friends and i use it to get internet anywhere there is an open network, we also give advise to people whose networks are insecure if they are not with a simple flyer we have created.

thats just a thing we feel is honest and necessary to keep wardriving legal.

802.11a/b/g is very insecure, its just ridiculus when large networks use it with no security measures..

ok enough bla bla i'm gonna get started on my car-puter ;D


if you are interested in car computers there are a few things you need/should get:

a little electrical knowledge ( this is the main thing i need! )
spare battery
power inverter
LCD's are select
serial or other video display adapter for the LCD.
a good operating system, i do not suggest windows as it takes too long to boot, and it takes a lot more resources to run things smoothly. most unix-like OS's are much more efficient for these purposes ( mp3, movies, etc. )
some other suggested things include wireless pci nic, big HD, some cat-5 wall jacks lol and install them in your fuckin doors for wardrivin HAHAH

ok i'm having way too much fun...i'm gonna go buy some parts lol!

Is war driving when you drive by looking for Wireless Access Points?

The point of this is what?
