Wardriving is the act of searching for Wi-Fi wireless networks by a person usually in a moving vehicle, using a laptop or smartphone.

Typical source of wireless network data is Wireless Geographic Logging Engine (WiGLE). It is a website that consolidates location and other relevant information of wireless networks around the world to a database. Data collection is done via crowdsourcing. Users all over the world may submit the information they gathered, in form of trace files, CSV files, or other similar files via web or their mobile phone application.
