Malunga no-2000, unjineli ogama linguPetros Shipley waqulunqa ixesha lokugcina isigxina ekubhekiseleleni kwindlela yokuzihlola ngamabomu indawo yangaphandle efuna i-Wi-Fi engenazintambo zenethiwekhi ezingenazintambo. UMnu. Shipley waphawula indlela yokusebenzisa imoto, i-Global Positioning System (GPS), kunye ne-antenna ephakamileyo ukuchonga amanqenqatha angakhuselekanga asekhaya.
Xa i-wardriving kuqala yaziwa, abantu abambalwa babefake amanethiwekhi asekhaya. Abanye ababandakanyeka kwi-wardriving ngaloo mihla bamane baqulunqe imephu nendawo nayiphi na amanethiwekhi atholakeleyo. Abanye abaneenjongo ezininzi ezinomdla bazama ukuphululela kwezinye zeenethiwekhi. Abanye baye bathatha inxaxheba kwinkqubo yokulwa nokulwa kwemida- ukubeka uphawu lokuhamba ngeendlela ezikufutshane kunye neenkcukacha ezikhowudiweyo zokuvumela abanye bafumane amanethiwekhi athile okuhlala (ngokuqhelekileyo, angakhuselekanga).
Ukulungiswa kwempahla kwakuyimpikiswano engummangalo ukususela ekuqaleni, kodwa kwaphakamisa ukuqonda ngokubaluleka kokukhuseleka kwenethiwekhi engenazintambo kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezininzi ukususela ngoku basebenzise iindlela zokukhusela ze-Wi-Fi ezifana ne- WPA encryption. Ngelixa abanye becinga ukuba i-wardriver fad ixesha layo lidlulileyo, iziganeko eziphambili zexesha elifana ne-Google Street View Ukukhangela amanethiwekhi e-Wi-Fi ngo-2010 zigcine zijonge.
