Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-just-crazy dept.

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."

  8. lack of wireless security as my defense by LodCrappo · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I am wondering if having an AP without wep and using a default SSID would be of benefit should the RIAA come a'knockin... living in a densely populated area or a large apartment building, could they prove it was you that downloaded 20,000 mp3s? And do I become responsible even if it really wasn't me? I'm sure there are precedents in other areas, but it seems buying an AP at your local walmart and just plugging it in will create quite a liability or defense, depending. Anyone know?

    No, really! I can see my house! It's in one of the Santa Monica pictures. My AP was probably one of the detected ones, no WEP, but I use MAC filtering, so maybe not. I'm not sure if unregistered MACs can see the AP, actually. Hmm... BUT I CAN SEE MY HOUSE!
