Anyone in the twin cities, MN who has found any wireless networks can post them here (maybe just general area), because there are none on the map. There is a lot of potential in downtown Minnepolis/ St. Paul, and also Eagan (with Northwest, Unisys, Lockheed-Martin, 3M(all over), West Group, and more). I am going to get an antenna, maybe GPS and then I will post some findings.

postested some downtown and UoM areas data for MPLS

My friend Sp0aR are in the Twin Cities area. I live in S. Minneapolis and he lives in Champlin. You'll have better results getting me by e-mail to meet up and "hit the road".

I don't get it, I drive lake and chicago and never get anything... -

However need to post free APs, my DSL is always open

Between 494 and 394 on 100 is ripe with default configured Cisco Equipment.

Lots of activity in the industrial park near the Best Buy Hq, none from the building its self though (maybe a better ant. would tell a different story) A few wide open 2 Mbit networks.

494 and carlson parkway has at least two hits.

Eden Prairie has a ton, haven;t done much exploring beyond that.

I've been stumbling down 494(around bloomington and edina), theres about 7 w/out antenna, and one named mike without WEP and the range is quite big. I quick looked in minneapolis, I found about 10, 3 no wep. 35W (north of 494) had like 2. Im too lazy to do any more right now, but when i get a good antenna....

Hacked my tripmate to get it to work with the netstumbler.

Started driving from Uptown to U of M campus, dinky town, stadium village and back. Logged 37 APs in about 30 minutes.

I'll post a line here to see how the formatting works before posting the rest.

Anyone interested in wardriving the twin cities?

We'll get a group together. IM me, I'm w3xbf on AIM

I will be looking at the University over the next few months. But unfortunately netstumbler may not work because Most of the SSIDs are hidden, atleast for University AP's

My friends and I have found looking around in mpls that alot of the linksys APs are defult everything... including password to the router... If you are in the metro and are looking for a sure hit to test your stumbling ablitys, go to the U of M, its all free. Drive by riverside. Mall America with the America Origanal Sports Bar that has mega-bit connection. And the U of M is not hidden, drive on Como and when you see the sign Entering U of M campus.. you can get SSID: 1930 Lab A Base Station, or go on University and you can get the SSID: UOfM Wireless, but its wep, Or SSID: Computer Repair.. i think i should shut up now, and have a nice drive.

The U of M is MAC address authentication. If anyone is interested in starting a Wireless Group in the Twin Cities shoot me an email. Me and my friends came up with a way to cover half the river just with our friends houses.

I can be found on AIM as: Parag Garg

Parag

but the east side (St Paul) doesn't look to have any stumblers. I might just have to drive out that way and stumble some APs there.

Hey, I'd like to borrow an antenna, or at least work with someone to build one. Otherwise, I have all the equipment.

I was thinking of setting up a pringles antenna on something so that it will rotate. Any problems with this?

Someone wanna go driving with me? I have an inverter, so no limits on battery life! Oh, moonroof too, which should help.
