As some of my readers know my job title is Information blah blah blah… I am in Network Security.
Anyway the other day I was doing some Wardriving with a new fun toy Work just got.
I work in a very secured area with some national interest shown here. So our Security is suppose to be high importance. I decided to walk the perimmiter of the Fence and see what I could find. When professionals set up Wireless Routers they usually Name the SSID to something unguessable (Is that a word) and then turn off Broadcasting so people can’t say, “ohhh I have wireless connection, its from Jim next door because the SSID is named JimNextDoor” But then there are those professionals that also leave everything security free so that ummm lets say… ummm all their tenants can have access to the internet. (I can’t think of anyone that does this)
Well I am reminded of a post from another IT Nerds Blog that was about what people will search google.
I am not that good at make lists like that so I will put the couple I saw on my perimeter walk:
ilovecock
cantguessthis
and the best
Dadisass

Now I can see the last one - “Son(or Daughter) I know I caught you smoking dope so I grounded you off the internet for the next 3 weeks, but I just got this Linksys router. It has wireless, can you hook it up for me?”
“Dad, Can I use it for my computer in my room?”
“In three weeks you can”
