Wicked Wardriving with GPS and GLONASS
Demonstrates mobile wardriving rigs combining dual-constellation GPS and GLONASS positioning for high-accuracy RF mapping.
Summary
Security researchers demonstrate modern wardriving techniques integrating dual-constellation GPS and GLONASS satellite tracking to map wireless network infrastructure with high geospatial accuracy. They discuss the hardware and antenna configurations required to build resilient mobile sniffing platforms for vehicle or pedestrian wardriving.
The presenters analyze RF reception characteristics and the advantages of combining multiple Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) constellations at 04:13 and 06:19 to ensure reliable position fixes in urban canyons. At 08:29 and 10:35, they explain data collection workflows using Kismet and WiGLE formats, demonstrating how precise geospatial coordinates enable accurate spatial visualization, signal heatmapping, and identification of rogue access points.
