Best Wireless SSIDs You Have Seen?

Ant writes "Best SSIDs you have seen is the name of the new Broadband Reports' wireless security forum. Funny ones listed that made me chuckle: WardriversOpenAP, GET LOST, HackedAP, SecureAP (no WEP/WPA), TOP_SECRET, HPD-FieldOffice, MiddleEarth, HoneyPot, mine, and people's full/last name." I think naming your network 'Default' or 'Linksys' should be a crime ;)

Best SSID

[harlingtoxad]

The best SSIDs are generic names like linksys or default. Generic names most always mean I get free wireless access.

They kept the SSID simple: FU

Best ones ever?

HackerDetected and Iwillsniffyourpackets are a couple I've seen.

juvenile cleverness

[siliconcenturion]

my friend and i were at a summer camp where we werent supposed to have internet access, but we plugged in a WAP we brought and set the SSID to "drewisawanker"
drew was the name of his RA
the next day we saw 3 RA's walking through the hallway trying to triangulate the location of the WAP
crazy kids we were!

That's mine.

If it is wrong to call my AP LINKSYS

[blowdart]

when it's a Netgear with WPA running then I don't want to be right.

Best one I've seen - laughed my ass off. I can just imagine a "neighbor" coming over to help them set it up. Hahahahaha.

I laughed my ass off at this one:

Re:My neighborhood

[powerpointmonkey]

Up until two weeks ago, mine was the only SSID visible, Ok, so it's called 'home', but it's not broadcast, it's using wep and it's locked down by MAC address last week default and sitecom appeared. Both with default router passwords, I guess someone in my neighborhood got broadband for christmas. I feel like broadcasting my SSID and changing it to 'I'm at number 35, for god's sake please come over and speek to me about wireless network security!'

Why I'm A Bastard

[WombatControl]

I used to live fairly close to a major street and not too far from a university campus, so wardrivers were always trying to connect to my network.

So I decided to ask WWTBOFHD? (What Would The Bastard Operator From Hell Do?)

So, I set up a nice AP called 'linksys' with no WEP. Obviously, every freeloader on the planet would try and connect to it.

Oh, and you could connect to it alright. The problem was that it was connected directly to a proxy server that rerouted every web request directly to goatse.cx and blocked everything else.

Apparently the word got around, and the number of people trying to access that AP went down precipitously after that.

I'm such a bastard...

"noconnect-Federaloffense"

[flinxmeister]

I set up one for a buddy of mine with this SSID. His building is right next to a post office, so it adds credibility. It's hilarious to watch people come in and see "do you want to connect to noconnect-federaloffense?" One literally jumped back from his laptop.

I guess the Man has us trained well!

The best I've seen...

[xorowo]

At a hotel that charged for Internet access, someone had an access point with the SSID, "LeaveBeeror5dollarsatRoom505". Nice, cheap, easy Internet access without the $15 charge the hotel wanted.

My neighborhood

[BrK]

My home AP is named "FuckOff". It's secured (to the extent that an AP *can* be secured) well enough.

My neighbor INSISTS on leaving his WRT54G unsecured. I change it whenever I'm bored (I've also connected to the LAN, and then to one of his shared printers and printed out some "interesting" photos). I'll name his AP stuff like "pimpwifi" "secureme" "hellomike", etc. Nothing too interesting really.

Phone infected error...

[thrill12]

I used to name my phone that way in bluetooth.
A lot of people actually were wondering what was wrong with their cellphones, when they explored their bluetooth-neighbourhood (or got a bluetooth message from me)...

The same as my password

It's easy to remember :)

Re:Mine's called "Default"

When I lived in Phoenix and was feeling uncreative, I named my wireless network "eldefaulto".

Many APs at my school are called "0wned by sf_killer". Who could have done that?

[CAIMLAS]

"penis" is one I've seen a lot of here in Sioux Falls.

Then there appears to be several others done by the same group with a similar theme - "MobilePenis", "HandheldPenis", "LaptopPenis" and the like. Of course, these are all open networks...

I've also seen "hacked" on a network with and 256 bit WEP and MAC filtering, as well as several other measures which are in the protocol layer.

Re:"The Tits are Here"

[myom]

Acquintance of mine has a SSID "Blew me for helping with WLAN" (In Finnish though, "Imutti WLAN-avusta", I think) in his neighbourhood. He's been looking out through his window since the discovery at his neighbours lately trying to figure out which woman it is, always willing to help out.

If your neighbor "insisted" on leaving his door unlocked, would you go in his house and pee on his carpet, just because you could? That would be equally funny.

I'll just wave that one on.

Perhaps you should change it to "Gay Pride Open House".
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Re:My neighborhood

[jarich]

Great job!

I knew this little old lady who didn't lock one of her windows, so I snuck in and changed all her locks and added a vulgar greeting to her answering machine! Boy was that funny!

Now she locks her windows, has new locks and generally has better security at her house! Mission accomplished! I'm glad I took the time to teach that stupid old lady a lesson.

Oops!

[CrazyTalk]

I accidentaly renamed a neighbors unprotected network, thinking I was renaming my own. When I realized my mistake, I wanted to rename it back but I couldnt remember the exact spelling of the name they had used. So, I renamed it "oops". That was 6 months ago, and the "oops" network is still around. I wonder if they are continuing to use it under the new name I gave it...

Re:Best SSID

I like "FBI-STING" I bet that will scare them away

Well, if be broadcast his carpet into the bathroom in my house, I would pee on it.

Re:My neighborhood

[The Dodger]

You don't have the right to decide how other people should manage their network.

The right? No. The ability? Yes.

Terrorising people into behaving in the way you think they should is despicable. Who made you King?

GUARDS! TAKE THIS MAN OUTSIDE AND BEHEAD HIM!

Just because something's Evil doesn't mean you shouldn't do it...

Re:My neighborhood

[NanoGator]

"So I changed their SSID to "Yeasty Cunts" and then I booted and blocked them off their own network. I felt that doing this would teach them a little lesson in security."

It taught me a lesson on how to be an asshole.
