Fun With WiFi

There is an unsecured wireless network in our apartment complex; it's the free internet that everyone uses. Having recently killed our internet, my roommate and I use the unsescured "linksys" for all of our internetting needs.

Lifehacker discussed some scary wireless network names via this story. The two posts got me thinking of funny/scary names for wireless networks. Here is the list...

c:\d_firewall.exe

w32/kilonce.b.worm

Warbiest_Terminator_v.2.0.exe

These wireless network names are meant to deter others from sapping your wireless bandwidth. Of course, the other option would be to secure your wireless network. Duh. And remember kids: just because you secure your wireless network, doesn't mean you have to settle with the default "linksys" SSID. Be creepy creative.
