Wardriving

Psychotogen

I always wanted to get into this but was a PC guy. I finally got a laptop and I can't find a workable distro of Phrack. Is there a live distro of Linux you guys use for this? I want to keep my machine on windows and don't want to re partition.

I've never used it, but Backtrack is probably what you're looking for.

Download Backtrack and boot it from a Live CD. There are many tools you can use for Wardriving but I'll recommend something like Kismet :thumbsup: I think I wrote a guide on Wardriving actually, have a look for it.

That's overkill. But, It'll work. Thanks for the help.

Nice, but how is it overkill? I barely even touched on the subject, unless you're referring to my guide. Anyway, let us know how it goes.

If you're using Windows, I'd recommend NetStumbler Since you specified Linux, I didn't go into detail though. But netstumbler for Windows is great, it's just that I prefer using Linux.
