Explanation

WarChalking is the practice of drawing chalk symbols on sidewalks, walls, or other public surfaces to indicate the presence and type of nearby Wi-Fi networks, including open (unsecured) networks. It originated from the hobomime tradition of marking houses with chalk. WarWalking involves walking through an area with a Wi-Fi-enabled device to detect networks. WarFlying involves doing the same from an aircraft. WarDriving (not WarDhving, which is a typo in the question) involves scanning for Wi-Fi networks from a moving vehicle. WarChalking uniquely involves the physical chalk-symbol-based notification.
