Ngonyaka ka-2000, unjiniyela okuthiwa nguPeter Shipley waqamba igama lokugqila ukuze libheke emisebenzini yokufuna ngamabomu indawo yangakini efuna izingosi zenethiwekhi ezingenazintambo ze-Wi-Fi. UMnu. Shipley waphawula umkhuba wokusebenzisa imoto, i-Global Positioning System (GPS), kanye ne-antenna ephakanyisiwe ukukhomba amanethiwekhi angasenqenqemeni angenawo amakhasimende angenazintambo.
Lapho ukugqilaza kuqala kuqala ukuthandwa, kunabantu abambalwa ababefake amanethiwekhi okuhlala ekhaya. Abanye ababandakanyeka ekugqilweni ngalezo zinsuku bavele babalaze indawo noma yikuphi amanethiwekhi atholakele. Abanye abanezinhloso ezinonya kakhulu bazame ukungena kwezinye zalezi zinethiwekhi. Abanye nabo bahlanganyele emisebenzini ehlobene yokulwa kwezempi - ukumaka umzila ohambisana nawo ngezinkomba ezikhokhwayo ukuze uvumele abanye bathole amanethiwekhi athile okuhlala (ngokuvamile, angavikelekile).
I-Wardriving yayingumkhuba wokuphikisana kusukela ekuqaleni, kodwa yazisa ngokubaluleka kokuphepha kwenethiwekhi okungenazintambo nokuhlala okungaphezulu kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kusetshenziswe izinyathelo eziyisisekelo zokuphepha ze-Wi-Fi njenge- encrypted WPA . Ngenkathi abanye becabanga ukuthi ukugqilaza i-fad isikhathi esiphelile, imicimbi evelele kakhulu efana ne-Google Street View ukuskena amanethiwekhi we-Wi-Fi ngo-2010 ikugcine.
