Perhaps I'm missing something here. The top 1000 SSIDs are mostly manufacturer defaults, like "linksys", "NETGEAR", and things like that. A lot of others are for public open systems ("Free Public WiFi", "tmobile", etc). Those aren't going to be WPA'ed anyway.
How often do people really know enough to enable WPA, but not bother to change the SSID? Purely anecdotally, I almost never see a secured network named "linksys".
I don't really expect this table to help access many things.
- chaosmachine 16y agoIn an apartment complex, you'll find a lot of wifi routers set up by ISP technicians. They come in, set up encryption for the customer, but leave the SSID something common/obvious, like the family's last name, or just "Bell".
