things you should not name your wireless network

[msi1337]

While I was onsite at a client to diagnose their wireless router, I found the following list of available networks.. apparently some people are very protective of their internet.

No encryption/security on it?

 

[BoomerD]

That's funny as hell...

 

[msi1337]

actually it was secured..in Windows 7 the unsecured networks have yellow shields next to the name

 

[PottedMeat]

what's wrong with the name?



The best ones are called 'Linksys' or 'NETGEAR'.

Sometimes I think the makers of the OS change things just for the sake of changing things, regardless of whether the change itself makes it more intuitive. The universal symbol for security is a lock, so why the fuck not put a lock by the network if it's secure?

And those usually have the default login & password to the admin accounts.

Back when I stole internet I started to get kicked off repeatedly. It seems someone was on to me. Then I changed my computer's name to "Printer" and never got kicked off again.

The name is direct and to the point. I don't see a problem.

And the password is somewhere over 20 characters.
