Today, was my first real wardrive. Before, i was limited to walking around, and putting myself on top of parking structures. Today i had all my gear (gold card(firmware +mac hacked), laptop, GPS) in the front seat, plugged into the cig lighter. I drove around, picking up APs left and right. The area where I like is the upper middle class, so its alot of ppl, that dont use encryption, with broadband. I got about 35 networks, that was like a 1/2hr drive. Next time, im gonna get map point to track my drive, and plan it out on a map, so i cover everything. I have a couple of pringles cans, but those are used for more one-on-one action. The only snag in all of this is my GPS didnt accquire immediately, it took like 10 mins from power up to accqusition of satilate. All in all, it was pretty cool!
