Is warchalking mentioned in SYO-401? Because it is not mentioned in the SY0-501's objectives, Daril Gibson's book or Professor Messer's videos. Warchalking is the drawing of symbols in public places to advertise an open Wi-Fi network.

• Warchalking refers to drawing symbols in public spaces to denote an open Wi-Fi wireless network in a public space. Warchalking provides information about the type of wireless connection being used, which may be open node, closed node or wired equivalent privacy (WEP) node. This may attract hackers and make them aware of the Wi-Fi hot spot and its security. Hackers may use this information to attack the Wi-Fi network.
