I live in Tempe. The areas that have been hot for me are in Mesa along university drive and just cruising up and down Hayden road. Old town Scottsdale, North Scottsdale, ASU campus is hot and Soutern Ave to just name a few. I have been thinking that if you head to CamleBack at night with a YAGI and a laptop that you should be able to hit quite a few AP's from up there as I have gotten allot of AP's around there when driving up Camel Back. I am currently working on the "Pringle" Yagi, just need to find the connectors and the pig tail. I will post what I find when I go to Camelback. I would also be interested in setting up a wireless Lan with point to point antennas with other stumblers to share info.

Some friends wanted to do a bit of house hunting, so I tagged along with my laptop. In one small section of central Phoenix, we snagged 15 AP's in about 5 blocks.

01-10-2002

So far I'm not using any kind of external antenna, just an old laptop (166 MHz) and an Orinoco Silver card and have been finding AP's left and right. (Or in Phx would that be North/South and East/West?)

Hey all, figured i'd give a post on here. been out wardriving a bit lately, my AP list is up to 99..err ticked me off i only needed to get one more tonight to make that 100. Anyways what i find the most amazing is most of the ones ive found with WEP nabled seem to be from home users not the business' thas pretty sad. If anyone want to talk about war driving phoenix, drop me an email fabel@indirect.com

Still finding interesting points in and around the Phoenix metro area. I keep my WAP open (public, just find it and accept the DHCP) in downtown Tempe.

Unfortunately I currently have the Linksys PC card (no access to antennas) but would love to ride with others with a bit more powerful equipment.

I don't know how effective this would be, but with a good antennae, it would be interesting to see what you could spot atop south mountain.

It would make for an entertaining afternoon. You bring the antenna, I'll bring the beer.

Went to a meeting near 51st Ave and Van Buren (major tank farms, manufacturing and warehouse area). I must have picked up over 20 AP's in less than a mile - with many sites having multiple AP's. So if you decide to Stumble around Phx, don't forget to head to the warehouse areas.

I'd be interested in meeting other WarDrivers in the Phoenix area.

I'd also be intersted in Swapping .ns1 files with others who have them for greater Phoenix. I'm trying to do some statistics on Wireless deployment in the Phoenix area (Most common AP types, most common channel, % using default Ap names, % using encryption, etc.) and additional data points would be welcome.

I have about 150 AP's from Tempe, North Chandler and Ahwatukee.

too bad we must revert to decentralizing data that we ourselves have centralized...

Hopefully in the future we can truly share this data storing information.

Blackwave I will send you what I have found but I dont have a GPS. I know these lists are pointless if you dont know where they are in the City. Just give me a shout and I will send them if you are still interested.

Last look I had over 400 AP's found so far.

Please send what you have and I will send what I have...
Please compress data (rar, zip, ace) before sending

Perhaps if I get enough data from whomever wants to participate I will merge and post on a free website and/or I have a few websites at my disposal that I can use authentication and ssl so only those who contribute can dl latest info...

..... just an idea.

Let me know what you think.

Anyone stumbling around these parts? Ive been able to find very little to no Phoenix maps and info.

tapper451 · 06-14-2002

There are a few folks roaming about. I'm primarily doing Tempe, Chandler, Ahwatukee areas.

The Phoenix thread never really picked up much life. I guess its the heat.

Here's the old thread for your perusing pleasure.

I have now added my free access AP to the list of APs that can be stumbled upon in Tempe. WEP is off, only port 80 is currently open for wireless users.

neosensa · 06-20-2002

Tempe, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, and Chandler. I do not have a GPS unit. I have logged over 500-600 Wlans in those areas. Many Many Many lans are wide open. I have found some rather surprising discoveries that include stores and companies that have slipped up and left a hole into the wired networks.
