Wardriving: Unauthorized Access to Wi-Fi Networks

Abstract

Abstract Wireless local area network, or Wi-Fi (“wireless fidelity”), is a short-range networking technology. Wi-Fi allows suitably equipped computers to connect to computer networks and the Internet using a radio connection rather than wires. Most new laptop computers can access Wi-Fi routers. T-Mobile HotSpot provides high-speed Wi-Fi in public locations such as Starbucks, Borders, FedEx, Kinko's, Hyatt's, and the airline clubs for most major airlines. Unlimited subscription plans start at $29.99 per month or $6.00 per hour for nonmembers.
