I built this CYD PT device out of curiosity.To test its capabilities,

In Info Sec, the term wardriving refers to the practice of driving around with specialized hardware and software to detect and map Wi-Fi networks, frequently to identify unsecured ones for potential exploitation. Mapping is legal, but using this information to gain unauthorized access to networks or steal data is illegal and a cyber attack. Wardriving is used by attackers to identify vulnerable networks for further attacks, such as data theft or malware installation.

                                                           

Critical Concerns

Legality: Unauthorized Wi-Fi scanning/wardriving violates computer crime laws in most jurisdictions (CFAA in the US, similar laws globally).

Privacy: Intercepting network traffic without explicit consent is illegal and unethical

Security Implications: Demonstrating vulnerabilities without responsible disclosure harms users.

Responsible Alternatives:

• Ethical Testing: We only scanned networks that you own or have written permission to test.
• Education Focus: Use our technical skills to help others secure their networks:
• to know the importance  WPA3 encryption 
• risks with default password & importance disable WPS.

Basic Security Recommendations for Home Users: from being compromised by wardriving:

• Enable WPA3 encryption (or WPA2-AES if WPA3 unavailable)
• Change default router credentials & Regularly update router firmware & Enable network firewalls
• Use strong, unique WiFi passwords &  Disable WPS (WiFi Protected Setup)
• Check the IP address that your device received from your home WiFi router. Should it be part of the same series or not? Which one have you enabled in DHCP
• Disable SSID broadcast: Hiding your network's name (SSID) makes it invisible to basic scans, though it can still be detected by more advanced tools like air crack ng and Implement MAC Filtering
• Set up a different network: For visitors or IoT devices, use a separate guest network to isolate less-secure connections from your primary network

How war driving works.

• Scanning:                                                                                                              

Devices like smartphones or laptops with Wi-Fi scanning tools are used by War-drivers to detect wireless networks.

• Mapping:

GPS-enabled devices are utilized to record the location of every detected network and create a map of the available Wi-Fi signals in an area.                                                                                         

Educate your non-technical friends and family on how to defend themselves against vengeance.

        It's a surprise that both CYD and NH are given the same output. It's much simpler for script kiddies  to utilize it.
