Warflying 2013 Access Points in Los Angeles
Kallahar writes "We went warflying over Los Angeles and Orange counties yesterday. Flying in a small plane at 1400 feet we detected 2013 802.11b APs in 75 minutes, 71% had no WEP encryption. A map and some pretty pictures are up at my writeup."
I'll just get a hot air balloon and get to the right spot and kiss those Internet access fees goodbye!

heheh.. a page with some thumbnails linked to 175k-300K pictures. His site is so dead.
Woah, nice to have a map of all the access points, for those times when I'm without internet connection ... or don't want to use my own :D Thank god for wireless!
I'm not drunk, I'm just in touch with pi.
... for people who want to do some file-sharing!
In East LA, a pilot is "warflying" when averting the numerous bullets flying into the air, shot by drunk cholos on July 4th. Talk about bombs bursting in air.
And I can hear it already - hey ese, you forgot to encrypt your airport station, homes!
Yeah, it's all fun and games until someone gets caught flying upside down, no pants on, playing with the stick, lookin' at kiddie porn...
Please help metamoderate.
Thats all cool, checking for open networks in your little plane.
But WHY did you have to set up all those servers to syn SCO?
They are an honest company looking to make a profit from suing their potential customers, which doesnt follow the DOT COM era at all, so it should be profitable.
On a side note, you also violated homeland security.

You bastards! My AP is on that map!
I am a viral sig. Please help me spread.
Heh, I swear my server could have handled a slashdotting. But in the last 50 minutes it's gotten 125,000 loads at 2.07 gigs.

The images are down to 50 wide now, and compressed better, but even with that the sheer volume of slashdotters is tough to handle
Sure those weren't just Starbuck's/TMobile hotspots?
Which do not support WEP anyway.
Contrary to popular belief, life is not a bitch. It is far far worse.
A WarSCUBA expedition has found forty-two 802.11b connections! ...none were using WEP, but Kerberos was there.

Hate me!
My signal can't even make it from downstairs in the living room to upstairs in the bedroom without a repeater, and yet you guys are picking up signal from 1400 feet in the air!
What the hell am I doing wrong?
quiquid id est, timeo puellas et oscula dantes.
1,400 feet? Your images show that you flew right over LAX. I hope your pilot ascended up to the altitude of the southbound transition corridor... or, by my calculations, he's gonna have his license for about another 2.1 hours. :)
