warchalk

<networking> A system of runes and annotations chalked on walls or other surfaces to indicate to interested parties the presence of a wireless network node in the vicinity.

Warchalking was inspired by "hobo language" - the signs used by American itinerants during the Depression years to indicate where they might find a meal.
