War Walking is similar to WarDialing and WarDriving, but using feet instead of modems, or wheels. Take a really light notebook, a DIY PVC pipe [[Yagi]], and wander around town while the tourists look at you like you're nuts. Which of course, you are.

[[http://www.blackbeltjones.com/warchalking/|War Chalking]] is a movement to "tag" an area covered by wireless "hot spots". It's a cheap, easy way to indicate public wireless 802.11 access using chalk.  "Mark-up" curbs, walls or sidewalks - wherever you find wireless access. 

[[http://www.blackbeltjones.com/|Blackbelt Jones]] explains that  [[http://www.blackbeltjones.com/warchalking/|War Chalking]] is a pun on  WarWalking - itself derived from  WarDriving which has its roots in WarDialing.
