What is a “standard wardrive?

0

This is my term for defining a route and then wardriving it on a regular basis (say, weekly or monthly) and keeping the logs for each drive so you can track the changes in the Wi-Fi network installed base over time. The easiest way to do this is use your daily commute, if it takes you past enough stations to be useful. If not, then simply pull out a map and choose a route that will net you at least fifty stations, the more the better for statistical usefulness. Each time you stumble your standard route, save the log file with a name that includes the date and the name of the route taken. (I have three standard wardrives.) By all means merge your logs into a master logfile containing all your stumbled stations from all routes and runs, but keep separate copies as well for analysis.
