I can't find anywhere else for this to go. I am using kismet so here is as good as any.

i have a box with an orinoco and a 15db sector antenna pointed out my deck door. It faces the street and a bunch of other apartments.

A BGE truck was out front messing with the streetlight. When he pulled up I picked up probes for frmwlan SSID. I didn't think much of it, but it stopped sending probes when he left.

I am thinking that truck had wireless in it. Anyone else had any similar experiences? I am thinking of setting up an AP that accepts any SSID and doing traffic analysis on what I find.

What about a DHCP server that automatically port scans any machine that grabs an IP? Anyone seen anything like that?

Sounds like the SST-PR1 mystery. Probably a wireless fleet management system. As for the port scans- you're in the the wrong place for that. Try IRC, d00d.

I didn't hear about SST-Page Ranking-1 I have that as an Adhoc client too. Weird!

I did a quick search and found this. Maybe they use 802.11 when they are back at the shop.

Exactly! From a Qualcomm press release:

FLECOM

I KNOW WHAT SST-PR1 IS!!!!!!!!

SST = Sears Service Tech...

its the sears vans... these were driving me crazy until one day i was getting a 50 signal off of an SST-PR1 and i was parked next to a sears van at a red light, i followed him for a few miles and i never got below a 35... whenever i would get closer, the signal would go up.. farther the signal would go down, he turned, signal went away

It's the Sears Intelligence Agency. I see these guys all the time. The SST-PR1 saga is very well documented in these forums. But, ya gots ta search for it.
