Very Odd Wi-Fi shown today, true or no?

[Hurtaaron]

I named mine INS back in the day... I always wondered if my illegal neighbors enjoyed my humor.

hahaha
You all have made me realize how un-creative I am.

Back in my war driving days networks with names like that were always the first to get targeted.

Back when I messed around with this stuff, I had one network called "Virus scan test box."

A friend and I were talking one day during our war driving days about funny ssid's we had come across. Then he says I saw one that said <name of my ssid> I stopped him and exclaimed "hey that's mine!" He just laughed and said "oh cool, I have your wep key". We both laughed, that night I switched to wpa. That was back when wep was still very widely used.

Hmm now I need to figure out how to change my wifi name. I will get creative

Since special chars are allowed, my guest network is: _(O|||||||O)_

 

[Tactically Fat]

I wish I knew how to A) secure MY stuff so I could B) have an open WiFi signal and see what people were surfing for online.

Your access point / router is likely configurable. Mine allows for a guest network (see above). It CAN be an open network (mine is not), and you can also throttle it (I limit guests to a few Mbps - no streaming, but fine for email/FB). It can also be segmented off of your primary network (guests can't see your stuff). Then, turn on logging and see what your neighbors are doing when connected to you.

I understand that those words are in English and arranged in sentences.

Actually, I'm not quite THAT ignorant. But close. We have UVerse. I'm not sure if it allows for a guest network.

I also have ATT, so yes, it does.

192.168.1.254, and log in with the password on the side of your gateway. Settings > LAN > WIFI. Scroll down to Guest Network.

I was wrong on the throttling... Must have been on my Brighthouse/Spectrum gateway prior to this.

I can neither confirm nor deny that my home network is FBI Surveillance Van #2.

 

[edporch]

I named mine UN_EtatsUnis46038

Back in the day you could fire up "kismet" in Linux and see what everyone on an open WiFi was doing. And if they had wep. You could crack it with "spoon wep" then add the key to kismet and see what they were doing too.

But now with wpa and encryption it's a bit harder.

Opening your WiFi won't really get you much. But if you have lots of unsecured networks near you fire up kismet and see what they are doing.

Or the next time you are at an hotel. Connect to the network and fore up "Wireshark" that may yield you a little traffic that is interesting.... But Everytime I watched hotel traffic it was mostly just porn.

Dude. You forgot to exempt your own traffic. That's why.

I rented a condo in Florida and there were networks named "GTFOmyWifiGARY" and "GetYourOwnNetGARY".

It was actually a PITA to connect there because there were so many overlapping wifi signals in the building. Gary's probably a PITA, though.
