In this chapter, I introduced wardriving, the chief threat to your home WLAN. Among the topics I presented were:
An explanation of wardriving

Wardriving is an extremely popular activity; chances are wardrivers have been through your neighborhood at some point, and may have identified many of the wireless networks. It’s important that you take the time to secure your WLAN to deter wardrivers and crackers. The material in Part 2 of this book will aid you in doing this.
