My WiFi is ‘Secret Rebel Base’.

My neighbours have added ‘Jabba the Hub’, ‘Obi Lan Kenobi’, and ‘Red WiFi-ve Standing By’. This makes me happy.

Anyone else live in a neighbourhood that embraces this kind of WiFi silliness?

    Don’t share all your WiFi SSIDs my dude. Its very common to be able to find someone’s likely location based on all the network names. Even Google and Apple use this technique instead of relying on GPS.

      Come hang with me and Smith and Wesson!

      What you’re describing is called Wardriving, I’ve done it and used it to track/confirm someone’s location
