Thanks again for being willing to answer questions for my story on WorldWide Wardrive.
See below for the questions.
Feel free to add any info you want to add -- make any points you'd like to make, etc. I know you're going to be out driving all weekend, but if at all possible I really need your replies by this Sunday night, please?
I need to send the story to my editor by noon (ET) Monday, so early Monday AM would also work.
Thanks!

Michelle

General wardriving questions:
1: what got you interested in wardriving? How long have you been doing it?

2:what was your first wardrive like? What do you remember most clearly about it?

3: Why did you decide to participate in worldwide wardrive?

These questions are specific to this year's worldwide wardrive:
1: How long did you wardrive on day 1? Do you plan to wardrive all week? How much time will you devote to it?

2: What was the most interesting thing that happened (so far) on this year's drive?

3: How many people are driving in your area? Are you driving solo or with partners/friends?

4: I'd like to stress the point that the idea behind this isn't to hack unprotected networks. Most people participating have set up their computers so that they can't inadvertently connect to an open network, correct?

5:You may have answered this already above, but since I am trying to stress the 'hack free' nature of wardriving -- what is the point of doing this? A lot of people can understand that it might be fun to jump onto other people's networks, but have a hard time getting the point of simply locating open networks. So what's the appeal? Are you learning something from this? What appeals to you about it?

6: Assuming you've been participating in wardrives for awhile, is the security situation getting better or worse? Are more people securing their networks? Are most wireless networks still wide open?

7: What should people who use wireless networks know to secure their network? (I've spoken to a lot of home/small biz users who were unaware that their network was so very 'public'.

Anything else you want to add?

Also, how should I ID you? And what website would you like me to link to (if any).
