Time was when, in a certain circle of wireless hacker types, wardriving and warchalking were cool.
They are so last week.
A group of Australian wireless buffs have taken the art of discovering open wireless ports to new heights:
Cap'n Richard, Will (Yagi), Peterh & me took "IGI" - a Grumman Tiger 4 seat aircraft up to 1500ft and flew around Perth picking up AP's with Netstumbler running on an Handheld Ipaq/Cantenna and Kismet on a Toshiba Tecra 9000 with built-in Antenna.They call it warstorming (from "wardriving" and "barnstorming").
Via Boing Boing.
