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!

    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...

    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.

    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.
