I've always been partial to "YoMammasPussy" as the SSID. I mean, how cool is it to go up and ask the house owner, "Hey, can I get the password to YoMammasPussy?"

If you see a patch on a biker jacket that says FTW it means F**k The World.

If you are on a plane set your phone or tablet to broadcast the SSID "Bomb on plane". You will get a good laugh. Even better of it is a throw away phone set it beep randomly and throw it under some random seat. Funny as hell.

1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.
2. Remove your laptop.
3. Boot it.
4. Make sure the person who won’t leave you alone can see the screen.
5. Open your email client to this message.
6. Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky.
7. Then hit this link: http://www.thecleverest.com/countdown.swf

These types of pranks are actually illegal IIRC.

I named mine Howard Stern. I'm sure my holy roller neighbors find it amusing.

Had neighbors like that when I lived in Florida. The whole reason I started messing with them was after I had allowed them to use my network, they got shitty with me and told me tp rename it to something more "appropriate." I found later this meant they took offense to the inclusion of the word "Holy," (I had it named "HolyDSLBatman!" because it was my first broadband connection at the time, just when DSL got to the masses).

Excuse me? Well shit, wouldn't want to offend anyone with my neighborly gesture of sharing, I'll make some changes right now!

Changed the password, changed the SSID to 'InvisiblePowerThatWorks.' After overhearing the man of the house vent to another family member about how offensive it was, I promptly plugged in a few more routers but gave them no WAN access.

"HoldBaptistsUnderLonger"

"YouMakeBabyJesusWifi"

"HorusWiFiedForYou"

Sounds like a better way to get a body cavity search and a prison sentence.

Yeah have fun with that, let us know how it works out...

I changed my neighbours ssid to chickenbutt to show then how vulnerable their network was.

They secured it but kept the name.

A good deed I'd say.

I've been going with "Drop it like it's hotspot" lately.

Many devices don't tolerate SSIDs with apostrophes well. I recall a business printer that forced me to type in the SSID and had ABSOLUTELY NO PUNCTUATION. None. It took days of experimenting to confirm because anything you pressed that was the wrong button would dump you all the way back at the beginning and I'd have to go all through the password-protected menus again.

Yet another one of those obscure movies I thought no one else had ever seen :D

"Obscure?" I thought Spielberg produced it. I always wanted to see it as a kid and only ever got glimpses on TV.

Mine is called Mordor, it has a pretty strong password. One does not simply connect to it.

Have another one called guest with a super easy password, it's... for guests. It's restricted to http/s, ftp, ssh and few other standard protocols and that's it and no access to local network.
