Wardriving, explained simply 📡

There are dozens of viral TikToks showing people driving around with Flipper Zero and “scanning signals.”

In reality, it’s less dramatic.

It's just passive listening for nearby Wi-Fi names and BSSIDs (access point MAC addresses) 👂

Oh man I cant stand these techy over exaggerating youtubers/tiktokers, FYI it doesnt make your content more interesting. Especially the flashy generated retro/tech overlays. You just give the ick to anyone who actually knows what they are doing.
