Got a new job!

[flavio]

Started a 3 month contract Monday as part of an 8 person team doing a big conversion on a bank website.

Went for beers and tapas with a few people after work

Here's a pic out the office window

BTW, looks like you could snoop around a few corporate wireless networks from there.

Few corps are that stupid.

Few corps are that stupid.

Regarding networks? From personal experience, I completely disagree.

 

[Professur]

Well, maybe they breed 'em dumber down there. Up here, the only wireless connections I've ever installed are access points for handheld barcode scanners. And their access to the network is severely limited.

Must be.....tell ya what. I'll fire up my laptop and leave it running between here and my school (20 mins away) while I drive to work. I'll post back what the results are. 90% of the unencrypted networks I've found have been completely accessable. DHCP and all.

 

[Q]

Congrats!

Does this mean you'll be working days now?

 

[tommyj27]

agreed, and even WEP'd networks are breakable if you've got time and opportunity, like an office you can leave a laptop running in constantly for a day or two, then it's just a matter of figuring out addressing and spoofing some MACs, if even that.

 

[tommyj27]

unless of course, the network admin is worht a shit and placed the AP outside a firewall.

Good article: Exploiting and Protecting 802.11b Wireless Networks

A little outdated but amooosing, nevertheless.

The last (top) 11 were on campus.

17 of the 35 total were without encryption. Now I know how our campus sets up wireless, and the two College of Edu are nearly inaccessable. The rest....well, without attempting to connect to each one (legal issues here), I can't tell. However, judging from them being default names, I'd say the unit was plugged in and left alone.

I feel it is important to note that the last time I took this drive antenna-less I got nine networks total. I was not using an antenna today and it was snowing (considerable signal loss). Last time I drove this route with an antenna I got 25. I should redrive this with an antenna tomorrow...supposed to be better weather.

Look, if you get a full time job that means you start paying taxes & realizing that most of that money is given to poor, uneducated slobs with 45 children (using 36 men) and have addictions to crack. Then, one day you'll wake up & think like the rest of us brainless robots & demand a tax cut.

Quit while you're safe


congrats

I've been working. This is just a new better job.
