Amusing SSIDs
Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2002 1:57 pm
My favorite part of stumbling is the social aspect. What sort of people buy wireless equipment? What sort of people configure it securely? Commercial APs are more likely to be Cisco, residential APs are usually Linksys. College towns use WEP much more often than other areas. This fascinates me.
I'm also amused by some of the SSIDs people set. Here then for your enjoyment and perusal are some of the more interestingly-named networks I've found. I've rounded the lat/long coordinates to discourage abuse, all other attributes are unchanged. I got a particular kick out of "HackerDetected". College towns are definitely more risk-aware than the average bear.
What have you stumbled across that gave you a chuckle, or really made you worry?
