Drive by hacking

[Pieter_Arntz]

Hi all,

I was asked to do an article about "drive by hacking"
This article looks like a nice starting point: http://networking.earthweb.com/netsecur/article/0,,12084_948971_1,00.html If you know about other interesting articles or happen to stumble on some, please feel free to point me to them.

Thnx in advance,

Pieter

Well, if it can relate to any type of wireless network break-ins, how about "Warchalking"? Using a form of old "hobo signs" to mark places where wireless network signals can be found.

Many thanks to all of you.
I can see that this is going to be a filtering process. You gave me enough for a book :D

@Prince_Serendip,

Your thread about drive-by spamming is actually how I knew that I should look for "drive-by" as the English/American expression for this, so have a cookie on me.

Regards,

Pieter
