Wi-Fi War Droning: An activity where a drone equipped with a Wi-Fi scanner or hacker toolkit is used to identify and potentially exploit vulnerabilities in wireless networks. The mobility and compactness of drones enable them to reach locations that might be difficult for a human to access, allowing a wide or targeted search for unsecured or weakly secured networks. This activity can be used either for malicious intent or for legitimate purposes like security audits and penetration testing.
