Warflying |
Warflying is a basically harmless activity consisting of using an aeroplane and a Wi-Fi-equipped computer, such as a laptop or a Personal_digital_assistant, to detect Wi-Fi wireless networks. It originated in Australia with the WAFreeNet (WAFN) group taking up a Grumman Tiger four-seater near Perth City in 2002.
Most warflying is harmless, as most of the people will just scan for the networks, ether as an experiment, or just for the pure amusement, or to map out the wireless networks in the area. Due to the nature of warflying, it is much more difficult to attempt to crack into open networks while flying.
