WarDriving
I was headed to meet up with a friend of mine and I wanted to show him something on my laptop, so I took it along for the ride. I decided that since the laptop was driving with me, I'd do a little wardriving, using the MacStumbler program. Some interesting results...
I hacked up a program to take the output and crunch some numbers. Here's what I found:
- 361 Networks stumbled on
- 196 are named networks (named other than a default name)
- 165 are default networks (named 'linksys' or 'netgear', etc)
- 16.97% of the default networks are encrypted
- 56.12% of the named networks are encrypted
The difference is pretty striking.
