Dude, Where Is Your WEP?

    I've recently started using a Pocket PC again, and one of the more interesting applications I found and installed on the Pocket PC was a WiFi scanner called WiFiFoFum.

    Veteran Pocket PC or SmartPhone users would probably have this application installed on their WiFi-enabled devices right now. But if you have not tried it yet yet, I highly suggest you do.

    However, I'm not writing this article to tell you about this cool application. Instead, I'll be showing you some interesting data I've gathered using this WiFi scanner. You'd probably also end up following my steps.

    But first, let me set the premise of this little "experiment".

    I did that while I was in Singapore :haha:
    Leeched somebody's wireless network...even got into the router config (also a Linksys) but didn't change any settings :haha:
    Quite astounding, from my bedroom I could pick up about 8-10 networks, half of which were unsecured.

    yup, tons of routers are unsecured...
    sometimes my laptop connects to other networks without me even knowing it till i see the signal strength...

    The fact that people are NOT even using anything is the whole point of the article la :D

    In fact, the default password also never change! :faint:

    You can screw around with them :p i actually logged on to an unsecured network router before.

    No change in admin password and no change in ssid. All stock default, i just logged in and got out just to know i can do it :p

    Ummm, Ken, what I meant (implied) was, this topic has been quite overdone already :D

    If I had the time... sadly I'm dead busy these few months. I still owe ARP a follow-up to the intro to linux article, remember?
