I saw the "NorCal" post awhile back, but really - that's a lot of territory (you could probably throw like 20 Connecticuts in there or something
), and I noted the posters talked a lot about Sac, Santa Rosa, etc.
I really can't make it out that far, but I drive from East Bay to South Bay and back every day for work, wardriving the whole way. I know of a few people in the Concord/Dublin corridor that war drive as well (w00t! to the TVSG'ers -
http://www.tvsg.org) - anyone else want to hook up sometime?
As for my personal experiences so far on my commute:
Got some interesting hits going over I-580 overpass - I think the Livermore Weigh-Station uses WiFi = SSID livermoreeb ("East Bound"?).
Got some other hits driving by LLNL and Sandia - I *really* hope those are actually the houses across the street, and not the labs.
Bunch more hits down in Fremont along Mission Blvd - lots of nice $1M homes there, all Wi-fi'd up the wazzo. Rich people seem to love it.
Finally there's the obligatory hits in front of Nortel and NetGear. You'd have to wonder if you DIDN'T get hits there whether your set up was working or not.
I've been considering a drive down Tasman, but in order to get good hits, I'd have to do drive-bys in the parking lots. I think Cisco Security (oxymoron, I know, but that's what they call it) might get suspicious after the 25th or so building. It still might be fun.
Anway - any East Bay/South Bay types want to compare captures?
