Puzzling demographics: Who supports
Kerry instead of Edwards

Puzzling demographics: Who supports
Kerry instead of Edwards 03/06/2004 01:55 AM
According to what factors are American voters choosing between John Kerry and John Edwards for the Democratic presidential nomination? Extensive exit polls and voter surveys available from CNN.com's coverage of the primaries provide a wealth of information to help us investigate this question. However, this data seems to reveal more puzzles than answers. Examining the surveys in a few of the states where Kerry and Edwards placed first and second, we find a counter-intuitive correlation between a voter's economic class and his or her candidate preference.

Wardriving in Toledo

Wardriving in Toledo 12/24/2003 11:41 PM
While driving to my aunt & uncle's place for dinner tonight, I bought along the laptop and external WiFi antenna. I ran kismet for each leg of the drive while my Dad drove and my Mom tried to figure out what the heck I was doing. (The audio alerts are quite helpful when doing this.) The results were interesting. On the way from my parent's house (south Toledo) to aunt & uncle's (in Oregon, just east of Toledo) I...

The Legality of Wardriving

The Legality of Wardriving 09/13/2004 12:21 PM
The Virginia Journal of Law & Technology has published an article about wardriving: I confess that I haven't had the chance to read the whole piece, but the author concludes that wardriving is legal and that hackers are informally developing an ethical code that demarcates between essentially identifying hotspots and stealing information transmitted over the networks. The article cites some historical court cases surrounding wardrivers and looks at the positive changes in vendor security standards that wardrivers have affected....

Wardriving as a Proxy for Wi-Fi GPS
Location 05/11/2004 04:34 PM
Quarterscope converts Wi-Fi cards plus a wardriving database into a virtual GPS receiver: A few weeks ago, Wi-Fi Networking News talked to Ted Morgan, the founder and president of Quarterscope, a company which had just won an award at the cellular industry's big trade show for location services, finishing behind well-established Ekahau. Quarterscope's product is software that uses a database of wardriving records that it matches against the signals received by a Wi-Fi radio to produce an approximate set of coordinates, like a virtual GPS. "What got us started down this path is the density of public and private hot spots," Morgan said. "No one realizes just how many of these access points has been installed. They see the sales numbers, but they don't extrapolate the fact that people are going home and plugging them in." Morgan said that they have primed the pump of their database using existing information from research groups, hobby wardrivers, and collective databases. "We're aggregating from lots of different existing sources today," he said. Wardriving uses "stumbling" software like NetStumbler to record all of the network names and unique access point hardware addresses at regular time slices, like every second, combining that information with GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) receiver coordinates tied into the same laptop or handheld. Quarterscope is starting its own stumbling efforts by installing wardriving devices on vehicles in metropolitan areas that drive random paths, such as delivery vans. "If you have somebody who is scanning for a full day, in metro areas, they can scan over 5,000 a day, particularly in downtown areas," Morgan said. Oddly, he said, certain kinds of vehicles don't work because they drive similar routes every day, such as police cars. "if you really look at what a cop does all day, it's pretty revealing." Morgan said that they've had legal advice as to whether passively scanning or pinging for a beacon violates any laws int he U.S. "We've gotten consultation on the whole process, and it’s very clearly within legal bounds," he said. "If we have any concerns, it's more on a perception side of things. You can go to the FBI Web site and they very clearly state that passive scanning is fine. The problem is if you connect into somebody’s network." Quarterscope's software generates a virtual serial port on a Windows system, and uses the NMEA GPS protocol. it works with a variety of mapping...

WarDriving the Ohio Turnpike 12/27/2003 02:59 AM
After yesterday's fun with WarDriving in Toledo, I saddled up for the ride toward Cleveland along the Ohio Turnpike (from exit 59 in Toledo to exit 193 at route 44, Ravenna). The results, again, were interesting. A good mix of commercial and residential setups. As with yesterday, the Linksys equipment outnumbered the occasional NetGear and Apple stuff. This time I saw at least one 3com device too. Another amusing thing was that I'd pick up the "flyingj" network when...

Book Review: WarDriving

Book Review: WarDriving 05/27/2004 06:24 PM
Nobody likes to make enemies, but I have to be honest about the dollar-to-content value of this book: Let me be clear from the outset. I don't know any of the authors of this book, except by reputation, and have nothing but the highest regard for their technical knowledge and their achievements. The folks who wrote WarDriving: Drive, Detect, Defend are experts about most of what they write about, and offer great technical insights and tips throughout. That said, I can't recommend this book primarily because the best advice is already available on the Web for free in much the same form; chunks of the most practical early part of the book are repetitive to cover different operating systems or scenarios with the same approach; the middle part of the book comprises a 60-page-long set of anecdotes with long code extracts; and the last part of the book features security advice that's somewhat strange focusing on commercial software and hardware that's obscure and hard to use and mostly out of keeping with the kind of audience that could possibly be interested in this title. A factor that led to book bloat (520 pages, no CD-ROM, $49.99) is the lengthy reproduction of code, sometimes double spaced that a reader must be expected to input rather than download or copy and paste from a Web page. Further, many of the programs seem too idiosyncratic to be of general utility, arguing against their inclusion in the printed book even if other programs were printed in full. For fairness's sake, after reading this book a few weeks ago, I sent the publisher's publicist contact my remarks and a list of errors found in the book. I was promised some follow up and didn't get it, so the statute of limitations of waiting for a response to specifics has ended. I should also make it clear that I have co-written a book on wireless networking which has practically no overlap with this book. In general, the book is best at collecting and providing documentation on the trickiest aspects of scanning for, recording, and defending against wardriving and Wi-Fi network cracking. Some of the areas on defense are the strongest in the book, although other areas seem highly misguided. From the first page of the book to the end of Chapter 7, page 243, it's at its strongest. It's a cogent, how-to guide to installing and...

Enormous Wardriving Maps of Seattle

Enormous Wardriving Maps of Seattle 02/05/2005 09:26 PM
WiFiMaps.com releases massively large, detailed wardriving maps of Seattle: In conjunction with a University of Washington course. I can't describe it better than Drew: Dr. Philip Howard from the communications department has been teaching his students about technology, ideas, people, and how culture is affected by these new concepts. Their project allows them to gain some practical experience while exploring Wi-Fi as it pertains to them and the people around them. Involving 100 students, this project is one of the largest collective efforts to map Seattle's wireless landscape. WiFiMaps.com is a website which provides interactive maps of Wi-Fi installations, as seen by wardrivers. This collaboration served to create critical mass for the website to provide printable maps, in addition to on-screen maps that exist. Also, this paves the way for other universities and groups interested in orgznizing detailed scans of their city to have a way to actually accomplish this, and have visual results. The files are BitTorrented because of their enormous size (over 100 and 300 MB). [link via Slashdot]...

A look at Wardriving and the legalities
and statistics of WiFi Home Networks 09/13/2004 03:33 AM

I have my WiFi device sitting in a second floor office with MAC filtering and WEP enabled at the highest encryption level. I live in a residential area and from my second floor vantage point their are 11 active WiFi connections. Considering how far WiFi signal can travel everyone around on this block must have a WiFi device. What is amazing is that 9 of those are wide open. How can people be so ignorant. The statistics are amazing nation wide. Read on. [ZDNet]
