战争驾驶(暂译)(war driving)，这可以被认为是一种行为，又或者是一种运动、一种游戏。它是一种携带着WLAN终端，在移动中寻找到开放的WLAN网络的活动，有人也把这看成是一种信息化时代的寻宝形式。在因特网上，有的网页甚至已经公开了地图，并在上面标注了可以捕捉到WLAN信号的场所和企业的名称，甚至是当地的经纬度。战争驾驶也被称为战争漫步（war walking）。

战争驾驶可以分为扫描方式和监听方式两种。扫描方式类似于端口扫描，在一个频段上向周围发出连接信号，然后检测，周围是否有WLAN网络返回响应，从而确定WLAN的存在。监听方式是使无线终端工作于特殊模式下，仅接受周围发出的WLAN信号，而不主动发出任何信息。通过截取到的WLAN工作信号确定WLAN的存在。
