Which Wi-Fi chalking method refers to drawing symbols in public places to advertise open Wi-Fi networks?

• A. WarWalking
• B. WarFlying
• C. WarDhving
• D. WarChalking

Answer: (D)

This question tests knowledge of the term used when someone marks symbols in public places to advertise nearby wireless networks. WarChalking is the practice of drawing chalk symbols on sidewalks, walls, or other public surfaces to convey information about wireless networks—such as their location, whether they are open or secured, and sometimes the type of security. It started in hacker circles as a lightweight way to share where open networks could be found, so others could locate them later. This is different from the activities of searching for networks (warwalking or wardriving), which describe the act of discovering networks rather than leaving signs. WarFlying or WarDhiving aren’t standard terms in this context. So the description fits WarChalking.
