It is very important to study the risks and potential vulnerabilities of Wi-Fi networks, which will allow defining recommendations for users to enhance their security. This paper presents a methodology and research of the security of wireless networks in Varna city based on war-driving technique. The obtained results are analyzed and compared with those from previous research. The recommendations are given.
