Shortly after WiFi hotspots via mobile phones (or those stand alone devices) became a thing, I found that airports usually had the best collection of ad-hoc WiFi networks.
A usual citing on my network list was "Yell Penis for Password".
I've also had people, more deviously change their network name to "Galaxy Note 7" while in the airport or in-flight to stir frenzy after they were banned at airports.
- myself248 7y agoI've heard SO many stories of people setting their ESSID to "FBI Surveillance Van #16" or something, and watching the reactions. I used to attempt Bluetooth pairing around the office with my phone set to "TURN OFF YOUR DAMN BLUETOOTH". The number of visible devices did decrease after a while! In the early days of coffee-shop wifi, I used to browse around Network Neighborhood looking for people's shared MP3 folders. If they had stuff I liked, and their share was writable, I'd leave 'em something in return, along with a little thanks.txt :)
