1. Do Not
Connect!!:
At no time should you ever connect to any AP's that are not your own. Disable
client managers and TCP/IP stacks to be sure. Simply associating can be interpreted
as computer trespass by law enforcement.

|
2. Obey traffic laws:
It's your community too, the traffic laws are there for everyone's safety
including your own. Doing doughnuts at 3am gets unwanted attention from the
authorities anyway's.
|
|
3. Obey private property and no-trespassing signs:
Don't trespass in order to scan an area. That's what the directional antenna is for ;) You wouldn't want people trespassing on your property
would you? |
|
4. Don't use your data for personal gain:
Share the data with like-minded people, show it to people who can change things
for the better, use it for education but don't try and make any money or status
off your data. It's just wrong to expect these
people to reward you for pointing out their own stupidity. |
|
5. Be like the hiker motto of 'take only pictures,
leave only footprints':
Detecting SSID's and moving on is legal, anything else is irresponsible to
yourself and your community. |
|
6. Speak
intelligently to others:
When telling others about wardriving and wireless security, don't get sensationalistic.
Horror stories and FUD are not very helpful to the acceptance of wardrivers.
Speak factually and carefully, Point out problems, but also point out solutions,
especially how we are not the problem because we don't connect. |
|
7. Avoid
Auto Connection!:
When out wardriving, make sure that your wireless
devices Auto Connection function is turned off, to avoid automatically connect
to someone's network without you knowing. |
|
8. If/When speaking to media, remember you are
representing the
community:
Your words reflect on our entire hobby and the rest of us. Do not do anything
illegal no matter how much they ask. They may get pissed off, but at least
you have demonstrated the integrity that this hobby requires. |
