What term describes the practice of driving around to locate open wireless networks?

• A. Geofencing
• B. Evil twin
• C. War driving
• D. WPS/brute force attack

Answer: (C)

War driving is driving around with a device to discover wireless networks as you move, typically to identify unsecured or poorly secured access points. The idea is to map the available networks by collecting details like SSIDs and signal strengths while you traverse areas. This term fits because it specifically describes the act of traveling through space to locate networks, often for assessment or exploitation.

Geofencing refers to creating virtual boundaries for location-based actions, not scanning for networks. An evil twin is a rogue access point that imitates a legitimate one to trick users. A WPS/brute force attack targets cracking passwords or exploiting setup features, not locating networks.
