Anyone on this board from London, or surrounding area???

I am

My friend chris and I can be seen zipping around town in a 1990 Ford Probe LX (with the digital dashboard

) and a small antenna mag mounted to the roof.

Question for you: the corner of dundas and colburne, where te london towers are, we picked up several networks with different macs all called IEEE 802.11b LAN. Haev you seen these networks before? We think they might be coming from possible sector antennas on the roof of the north building, but we havnt been able to confirm this yet.

Im very interested in talking to you furhter. Please contact me.
Tom

all the downtown cameras are wireless, but those are more to the west of where you're mentioning...
it's been a while since I been out, there wasn't anything in that area of notice when I was last out...

If you're in the east end... Dundas/Saskatoon... go south on Saskatoon, and should hit my setup :-) You'll know when you see the name

tem84 · 03-26-2003

do the street security cams run on 802.11b?

SMP_Homer · 03-26-2003

they do

tem84 · 03-26-2003

ok please tell me they run with WEP

SMP_Homer · 03-26-2003

If you're lucky enough to know someone in the Royal Bank building...
sit the laptop by a window (helps if you can look over the Market) and you will get all kinds of stuff

the cameras all connect to the top of the Royal Building roof

tem84 · 03-26-2003

definatly do, friend has an office in there. do you happen to know the ssid off the top of your head?

man its so cool to talk to another londoner about this. I thought i was the only one

SMP_Homer · 03-26-2003

I don't remember any info...
was september last I was out
no external antena either

all the security camera names are very close to one another... like omni1, omni2, etc...

SMP_Homer · 03-26-2003

also there's Western...
although with this weather, looking for wireless points should be #2 on your list :-)

tem84 · 03-26-2003

Lon_Omni1
Lon_Omni2 etc.
I thought these were just ghost networks, they seemed to be moving around, they're wide open as i recall. Ive been able to catch them on the ground but could never locate the source because i was catching a bounced signal.

Lon1_sec2 is another network ive been trying to ID, any insights there?

do you meen the networks/ all the students with the same ssid on peer to peer? or the security?

Through a little investigating we found masonville mall has a network that is linked into their climate and security control system. No wep! Before i get flamed we found this out my asking a friend of a friend (security guard there)

SMP_Homer · 03-26-2003

Lon1_Sec2 - isn't that right around Queens/Wellington?

and the Omni's all on Dundas, around the new library?

now you make me want to back out again :-)

another thing too... cops are wireless as well with their toughbooks in the cruisers...

tem84 · 03-26-2003

yah thats the one. Even went up the the top floor of One London Place to try to track that sucker down. Its not on the roof there. Ive also found Sec1, sec2, and sec3 in various locations around the DT area.

Still cant ID them either
