Oh man.... Wigle is something I haven't thought about in a very long time. Was quite active between 2005 and 2010ish. It was so cool to drive around my local city and submit data to see dots on the map where there weren't any previously. Even had a netbook (remember those terrible things?) running linux with a couple antenna in the back of my motorcycle for a while.
But it's clear that the data isn't being collected very much any more. Apparently I have enough "points" from way back in the day that I'm still reasonably highly ranked. Also looked up my SSID and the dots are at my old home, when I moved over 3 years ago.

- torpid 4y agoI had a kickass wardriving rig back in the day. A dedicated netbook with kismet, gpsd, and a kismet script i hacked together before they had a plugin framework that would alert me on certain ssid probes, which would reliably tell me of the presence of police MCTs thus police cars (the mcts used motorola airmobile iirc). Was also really fun compiling stats knowing how often police would drive past my house, and knowing which vehicles they were.
