About 2 years ago I went wardriving around the town that I live in. Wireless was just starting to take off then. I found 32 access points, and 3 were using WEP.

I now have a Compaq iPaq. A few weeks ago I threw my Orinoco card into it and drove across town on one of the major roads that goes east/west. I found over 70 APs. About 1/3 were using WEP. Lots of default SSIDs.

At this point I'd like to get a GPS and leave it hooked up to my laptop while I drive around.

I don't wardrive often, but I do occasionally walk down my street with the iPaq to survey the wireless activity going on around me.
