WiFi detection software

[eprice]

I just caught the end of a news story about software for the Mac and PC that you load on your WiFi equiped laptop to detect and map open wireless networks.

What was the name of the software?

Hello Internet newcomer. First time on the Internet? Well, let me give you a tip....there are these things called search engines that you can use to find information on the Internet. A good one is google (http://www.google.com). What you do is, type in a question similar to how you did it here. The difference is, it will return many links that you can follow to learn whatever you want. For example....click (http://www.google.com/search?q=how%20to%20bake%20an%20apple%20pie).

That being said, a good place to start learning about the dubious practice of War Driving would be on this site (http://www.wardriving.com/). Just keep in mind that this is frowned upon by serious IT professionals. I view it as hacking and if I catch you anywhere near my network with a Pringles can antenna, I'll kick your pale, pimpled, wannabe-hacker ass.
