Just when you thought it
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...
so, apparently there are additional layoffs going down this morning. I wish those bitches would finish this treachery up once and for all. I was running a little late this morning because of a scheduling conflict. EL scheduled sleeping in and my office scheduled getting up early. I hate that shit. I did a little wardriving on the way to work. I sniffed SSID's along my normal route to the office and found at least 11 networks on access points with the manufacturers default out-of-the-box settings. Easy cheese. Of the 75 or 80 more that were unencrypted, at least a dozen of them provided me enough packets to reveal their IP subnet. There were probably another 25 or so that were cloaked and encrypted. You'd really be surprised how many people just don't realize how insecure their wireless networks are... it's crazy. I'm not a hacker. I have no mal-intent. I was just curious. Besides, I can locate rogue Starbucks locations by tracking their "tmobile" access point identifiers. What's really cool is, if I could get a PCMCIA GPS card working on my linux laptop, I could triangulate the AP location by signal strength and then map it. Technology fucking rawks. What's that? More coffee? Great idea.

happy monday and I need to remember that scheduling excuse next time :)
holy sheep shit, batman. you used enough technobabble in that one paragraph to last me an entire morning. and here i was, just deleting my inbox....
what am i drinking, decaf? sheeeet.
Heh, I did the same thing on the way home from work. I have an iPaq with built in wireless. I also have a nice little proggy that will view all available shares on a subnet. You can see where this leading. :) I’m think about wandering around the 4-5 complexes around here randomly printing “Secure your network dummy” out on peoples shared printers.
