I could imagine that in redneck country.
I always call mine something rude. It seems to effectively stop people trying to connect to it. Security by lack of obscurity.
Currently it's iloveanal
- sinak 14y ago:). Stay tuned for our followup report on worldwide sentiment towards anal versus vaginal intercourse.
- blhack 14y agoPeople near me who do this usually get deauth attacked until they change their SSID. If you want to act like an inconsiderate 14 year old with your wifi, so will I!
- tedunangst 14y agoWhy exactly are you so offended by the name someone else picks for their network?
- blhack 14y agoGP specifically said that they're doing this to be rude. I'm offended by it because that was the intent.
- tedunangst 14y agoBut how do you know the intent of the other people around you? Maybe they're just making a joke. I think iloveanal sounds kind of funny. Do you ask them before conducting your deauth attack?
- gouranga 14y agoI'm the GP. I live in London, UK. I know literally noone who wouldn't think it's funny round here. People have a right to free speech, which neatly supports people having a right to be offended too but cannot do diddly to prevent saying it :) As for being deauth attacked, I'll unwind the ethernet cable from the back of my router and wham it in my laptop and sip pure unpolluted internets.
- nupark2 14y agoThey are broadcasting it to all of their neighbors. In our apartment building, I see about 30 WiFi networks.
- tedunangst 14y agoIf somebody had a "fuck you" bumper sticker, would you smash their taillight? Even if you're a technically sophisticated asshole, you're still an asshole...
- blhack 14y agoFine I'll reply to myself here. I'm talking specifically about people who name their networks things like "Anal Creampie Snowball" or "Gaping Asshole". I'm not saying what you're doing should be /illegal/ just that you're being a gigantic prick by doing it, and that you're inviting me to be a gigantic prick back to you.
- briandear 14y agoSounds like you might have a few personal issues. Visit iCouch.me to connect with a therapist.
- blhack 14y agoPersonal issues? Do you think that broadcasting stuff meant to be as offensive as possible is impolite?
- briandear 14y agoGetting offended at such a intense level over something that has no appreciable consequence is definitely an issue. It isn't like wifi network names are spray painted on the side of your house.
- drcube 14y agoI've noticed lots of SSIDs designed to scare people away. "NSA", "Viruses", "SpyNet", etc.
- scarmig 14y agoFor giggles, I call mine "Free Internet."
- tikhonj 14y agoThere is an ISP in France called Free (http://free.fr http://free.fr). Naturally, there are a bunch of Wifi access points called Free Wifi to confuse visiting Anglophones.
- coreygoodie 14y agoNice. I went with, "<TOWN NAME> FREE WIRELESS...NOT".
- junto 14y agoI always feel warm and fuzzy inside when my laptop tells me that I am connected to ( . Y . )
- raintrees 14y agoI vaguely recall a recent reference about a guy offering to help his girlfriend get reconnected when their WiFi died and saw the SID "I can hear you when you have sex"...
- nessus42 14y agoThere's a WiFi in my neighborhood called "It's us you hear having sex". Maybe I should name mine "I can hear you having sex" in response.
- andyking 14y agoMine was given a random name by my ISP, which consisted of the name of the ISP followed by a random string of three characters (it's a small ISP). I was amused to get the piece of paper with my router telling me the SSID was "OriginBroadband_hax". I never did change it!
