Japan war busing

09-22-2001

Just took a little ride on the local bus with my laptop,
wavelan card and garmin GPS. Here's what I observed:

- out of the 20 APs I found, only 2 had WEP

- famlimarts (a convience store similar to 7/11) have
access points (probably for inventory)

- wavelan cards are fairly remarkable for the following
reasons:

+ I was scanning from a bus- tinted windows+metal cage
+ I wasn't using an external antenna
+ Japan has severe limits on AP tx power

Now, all I have to do is figure out how to calibrate my
scanned japanese maps into Fugawi (I think I'm getting
the map projection all fouled up... posibly the datum used
by the GPS unit, as well, I don't read that kind of
specialized Kanji)

Japanese laws are *very* nebluous regarding actually
accessing networks across an insecure access point. I
believe the only major, high-profile hacking case that
has received a lot of exposure was the guy who wrote a
utility to decode the FJmask that Japanese law requires
to be placed over naughty-bits of porn.

At any rate, for demonstration purposes, I am going to
proceed to perfect techniques (on a privately own AP) for:

1 - gain access via standard DHCP
2 - extracting connected WLAN MAC addresses
3 - spoof WLAN card MAC addresses
4 - snarf traffic (if someone broadcasts it to me...)
5 - crack WEP keys and use the WEP key to connect

Right now, I'm looking for a GPS unit that has bluetooth
capability (or a bluetooth serial line adapter), so I can
put the entire setup into a fanny or back pack and keep
cabling to a minimum.

Did you add the points to the database, I want to look at the maps on the query page to check out some points in .jp

I found some in finland or wherever just browsing through the query results. Cool stuff.

How do you search for sites in the database? I see that there's a BIG list of sites and that each one can pull up a map and I've seen the 'US Map' with the blue dots but I'd like to pull up a map or list of my area or an area I'm traveling to or something like that. Is that possible?
