#WardrivingWednesday

I've attempted, with mixed results, to establish a hashtag on Mastodon on Wednesdays for wardriving. Why? Because I feel like it. There are so many awesome people in the wardriving space that could probably do it better, but I'm going to do it instead.

I cannot recall where I heard this general rule of thumb, but I believe it was Dragorn who said "For every adapter you can go about 10mph". I wonder how true that is, and I wonder more how I would begin to test that theory. This is something I'd like to figure out, and will likely need some assistance.

I also plan on remaking my rigs with raspberry pi alternatives. Right now there is a lot of drama surrounding raspberry pi, but I'm doing it just because of the cost and supply issues. There are many alternatives now, and I'm sure they'll make a few rigs. I'll keep the updates posted under the hashtag on Wednesday.

If you're interested in wardriving you should join the RF Sanctuary Discord. There's a lot more than wardriving there, but the folks there are very interesting: Discord Invite

It's going to be a stretch goal to consistently post on Wednesday, but posting is on my vision board, so there ya go. Those are my plans for it and I hope it brings even better stumbling!

I thought they were cheesy and weird, but it's been so effective. I made a blog post about it already, but just as a refresher my current board is below. A vision board is almost a resolution list in of itself. These are all the things I want to achieve in the near future. 5) Pass the HAM radio exam 6) Continue in content creation and make articles or a podcast Let's go over what my resolutions where last year: My 2022 Resolutions 1) Make it to 500,000 unique wifi networks I made it in November!

Your First #WWWD Wardriving Rig - Rig 1: Android Phone

Hello! If you've found this post it's likely you're looking to participate in 2023's World Wide WarDrive hosted by WiGLE.net Getting started in wardriving is easy. You don't need a fancy rig or a bunch of antennas to get going. In the next article we'll be building a rig using a Raspberry Pi or other mini-computer that can run Kali Linux. It's the second easiest rig to make. The first is using a phone! Rig 1: The Android Phone This one is pretty simple. You need to find an Android phone, change a couple of settings, and download the WiGLE.net app. Find an old Android phone you have laying around. If you don't have one, I recommend going to a used video game store and looking there for one. Or, if you're willing to use Amazon, this phone isn't a bad place to start. Almost any BLU phone or unlocked Android will work. Change a couple of settings Go to Settings, scroll down and select 'About This Device' Enable Developer Mode - this is
