Wardriving is the act of searching for Wi-Fi wireless networks, usually from a moving vehicle, using a laptop or smartphone. Software for wardriving is freely available on the internet. Warbiking, warcycling, warwalking and similar use the same approach but with other modes of transportation.
Wardrivers use a Wi-Fi-equipped device together with a GPS device to record the location of wireless networks. The results can then be uploaded to websites like WiGLE where the data is processed to form maps of the network neighborhood. There are also clients available for smartphones running Android that can upload data directly. For better range and sensitivity, antennas are built or bought, and vary from omnidirectional to highly directional.
Wardriving can be used for both legitimate and malicious purposes. Legitimate uses of wardriving include:
Mapping the availability of Wi-Fi networks in a given area.
Identifying and troubleshooting problems with Wi-Fi networks.
Finding free Wi-Fi networks to use while traveling.
Malicious uses of wardriving include:
Gaining unauthorized access to Wi-Fi networks.
Stealing data from devices connected to Wi-Fi networks.
Launching attacks against devices connected to Wi-Fi networks.
ESP32 Marauder is a Wi-Fi deauther project created by the hacker and maker "justcallmekoko" using the ESP32 microcontroller. The ESP32 Marauder is designed to detect and disrupt Wi-Fi networks by sending deauthentication (deauth) packets to targeted devices, forcing them to disconnect from their networks.
The ESP32 Marauder can be used for various purposes, such as security testing, network monitoring, or learning about Wi-Fi deauthentication attacks. It comes with a built-in OLED display and a web interface for configuration and control. The device can be powered using a USB cable or battery, making it portable and easy to use in different environments.
As with any security tool, it is important to use the ESP32 Marauder responsibly and with the appropriate authorization and legal permission.
