Best Wireless SSIDs You Have Seen?

Ant writes "Best SSIDs you have seen is the name of the new Broadband Reports' wireless security forum. Funny ones listed that made me chuckle: WardriversOpenAP, GET LOST, HackedAP, SecureAP (no WEP/WPA), TOP_SECRET, HPD-FieldOffice, MiddleEarth, HoneyPot, mine, and people's full/last name." I think naming your network 'Default' or 'Linksys' should be a crime ;)

I think the one most relevent to current events is the coolest. That'd be Cisco's "tsunami" default SSID on some of their access points.

With or without the name of the manufacturer, it is the same. You can always discover the manufacturer - MAC address is unique, and its first part is assotiated with the manufacturer.

Print the serial number of the device on the case of the box, use it as the default password

Uh huh. Can you say "tech support nightmare"? Not only that, it would mean you'd have to create one-off firmware for each and every unit. Every router I've ever used has a factory default password which gets used when you do a hardware reset, and for good reason: the drool monkeys who can't set the clock on their VCR are buying network gear and trying to make it work. The clueless tier 1 tech support goobers need to have a SIMPLE idiot-proof script they can read to the drool monkeys to get them back up and running when they inevitably dork things up.

Remember we're talking about the kind of end-users who set their password to their kids birthday and STILL manage to forget it. Actually expecting them to accurately transcribe a 20 digit alphanumeric string off the box (which they probably threw away immediately, along with the manual) is asking a bit much, and getting them to read the RIGHT number off a sticker on the unit (which likely has a half-dozen different numbers on it)
