Wardriving, Warbiking, Warwalking and Warkiting
Wardriving; named after the wardriving term used in the 1983 film Wargames.
Basically its searching for a unsecured wireless network on the move (moving vehicle) using a PDA or Laptop.
There are various software's available for the same for e.g NetStumbler for Windows, Kismet or SWScanner for Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, and Solaris, and KisMac for Macintosh.
Warbiking; It same as wardriving but here the mode of transport is moving bicycle or motorcycle.
Warwalking; here its done while you are on foot rather than on a moving vehicle.
Warkiting; it a combination of wardriving and rootkitting. In warkitting the hacker chnages the firmware of the hacked routerand controls the complete traffic of the victim.
I think all the above are used for unethical purpose; the latest was used by terrorist in India during the recent serial bombings.
