Loading ...Warchalking is a term that describes the act of walking around with a laptop, picking up locations of wireless access points, and drawing symbols to mark various information about the wireless access points. The term was coined in London of June of 2002 by Matt Jones
and a group of friends who used hobo-inspired symbols with chalk to mark various attributes to the wireless access points they encountered. He later posted the symbols on his blog and they became well known. The symbols - seen below each represent different descriptions of these WAPs.
The first symbol, on the left, represents an open Wireless Access Point. Anyone
