Abstract :
Every network has its operator. The goal for this paper was to show how much configuration was performed by the operators after wireless networks were put in place. We have used a method called war driving to map out the locations and settings being broadcasted from the multitude of Wi-Fi devices in the Zagreb area. The main driver was to point out how much of the scanned devices are left at their factory settings and the security consequences that might follow should they remain as such.
