wardriving

The process of driving around while looking for unsecured wireless networks with the intention of signing on to one.

I was up at my cabin and needed to get on to the internet, so I went wardriving around the nearest town in search of wireless networks.

Wardrobing

Buying an item of clothing, wearing it for a while, and returning it in a such a state that the store has to accept it but can no longer resell it. Used in the "Predictably Irrational" book by Dan Ariely.

- Do you spend a lot of money on buying clothes?
- Not really. Me and girlfriend, we used to actually save a lot of money since we do wardrobing.

wardrifting

just like war driving, but drifting at the same time
mainly done in a car or whatever that gets sidways while your buddies in the back seat of the vehicle using a laptop, wifi enabled phone, PDA or Ipod touch to find unsecured wifi to look up porn or facebook

its the more ''fun'' way of getting free internet, can be done solo but your rate of crashing is high

dude1 '' so I'm taking Sarah home right, but then all of a sudden she ran out of phone credit and wanted to login to facebook so she wanted to go to MacDonalds to use their free wifi so i said no and said ''fuck macca's wifi, we're going wardrifting'', so then we went drifting around the place while she was on facebook
dude2 '' was it fun?''
dude1 ''fuck yeah!''

war driving

The sport of the uber leet. You scan for wi-fi networks on your laptop whilst driving around, sitting in mall parking lots, outside the hot chick you have your eye on's house, etc.

Some popular programs war drivers use are:
Netstumbler: http://www.netstumbler.org
Wardrive ToolBox: http://www.xenon-inc.com
Ethereal: http://www.ethereal.com
Aircrack: http://freshmeat.net/projects/aircrack

Just remember, it may be illegal to use a wireless access point without permission from the owner.

You should see these nudies I collected from last night's war driving.
