There are 13 Miles between my house and Tiny’s Coffee in NE Portland (Charlotte’s favorite coffee place). In those 13 miles I encountered 198 wireless access points, 82 of them using WEP, 55 using WPA and 62 with no security (presumably). Interesting that 5 of the detected access points were in ad-hoc mode, too.
Just caught this over at theportlander.com very interesting . I know on occasion my husband has turned on his wifi sniffer on long road trips back from mt.hood and we routingly pick up several hundred open networks.
