I went on a short war drive yesterday with my new Sony Vaio picturebook w/ Orinoco gold card.

I found about 20 APs...some are quite funny. Only two had WEP. One was from a "real bagel" Bagel shop on St. Catherine street near Wood, and I was shocked that a bagel shop has a wireless network.

As well, in my dad's building on Decarie I found one called "Parasuco" like the jean company...

It amazes me that busineses keep these unlocked.

One was even clearly a tech or computer company by the name.

I intend to buy a Oronico Gold card and an adapter.

However, you say you have a "prism2" CF card.

Is this supported by "ministumbler"?

I believed only Hermes cards were supported.

Yea on Ministumbler only Hermes card are supported but Zaurus run on linux so he can run Kismet and Kismet support PRISM

Hey guys, I am max, but not the actual annoying cousin! I too am from montreal and willing to meet for a bit of a war drive. I have 2 laptops, one is just a p 150, a 2 wireless cards, a B, and a G. the B is the one with an antenna.

I am just learning, but so far its interesting.

wardrive from papineau and rene levesque all the way west, man there are alot of companies. there must have been 25 just named tellus. even videotron was found using netstumbler, and the majority are not encrypted.

Ah ok... My misunderstanding... I was thinking you said you where catching around 25... Call me once you catch 10000

Anyway are you involve into anything in montreal? Maybe we alwready had crossed eatch other...

max in montreal · 10-01-2004

I have never actually saved anything. 10,000 i don't think so, but over 1000 for sure.

I was thinking about going to the 2600 meeting tonight. I would like to see what that is all about.

What about you, involved in anything in and around montreal?

Hey guys, just dropping a note...

Been war driving in the west-island since march 2003, constantly picking a ton and a half of AP's here.

Noticed an encouraging trend in the last year though, when I first started wardriving, 99.5% of AP's were wide open, unprotected... but in the last year I see more and more AP's with WEP turned on... in my last stumble 2 weeks ago, I'd say about 60% of AP's were unprotected... it's a marked improvement.

Glad to see people are slowly getting smarter about wireless networking.

Pat

2600 meeting are quite boring... There is some people I know that go, so I have been going for like the past 6 month but I don't usually stay there for a long time... I passed last friday, but I did't stay for more than 15 minute...
I am somewhat involved with Iles sans fils, but I don't have mutch time to put in that these day...

If you want maybe we could do it together... I got some wifi equipement (Antenna) just don't have a car...
With 175 it seem the antenna you got is inside the car(aka in your laptop or wifi card), the car will block the wifi... you would get a mutch better result with External antenna...

max in montreal · 11-16-2004

i have a car! Let me know when you guys would like to get together and do this.

1 car, power inverter, 1 laptop, 1 us robotics g card and one orinoco gold, b with an external antenna.

there is also the wireless card in the laptop... but i do not use that one...
