I don’t know when WSB wrote this in the copy I’d sent him, except that it would have been over 28 yrs ago, on July 31, in Lawrence. Leary had encouraged him to read Neuromancer and he’d liked it, which thrilled me. We hadn’t yet met, and wouldn’t for a few yrs.

Lessons from #HHB24Wigle - Sun City West AZ is a _TARGET RICH ENVIRONMENT_ - leave enough time to traverse Sun City West - family comes first, even though I like #allTheWifi Still got 7th place! W00T! #Wardrive @hardhat.rocks @wiglenet.bsky.social

That's a wrap! It will take some time for the queue to clear, so hopefully by tomorrow we will have all the data calculated. Thanks again to @wiglenet.bsky.social and everyone who participated! Stay tuned for final scoring and the drawing. #HHB24Wigle #AllTheWiFi

While I was struggling with protecting my mom's site from the bot swarm I kept asking everyone who is still in the industry how small sites who don't have a kid with a computer science degree survive and the answer was pretty much "they don't" and that's so grim

Check out the new RSSI graphs in WiGLE WiFi 3.111 (enable under settings - off by default because BATTERY)

this is high art. a font of wisdom.

We've somehow managed to make it a quarter of a century with this silly hobby project. Thanks to everyone who has helped make this happen - crazy hackers the world over, the wardriving community, and everyone who loves to see the RF spectrum come alive.

sorry!

Such a great time at Tech Trivia last night at Steins Beer Garden in Mountain View! We hope some of you can join us at our next Tech Trivia event, Aug. 8 at @defcon.bsky.social in Las Vegas. #DEFCON34 www.eff.org/event/tech-t...

Voting Village returns to #defcon34! In addition to the voting machine lab, we have some terrific talks this year. Come hear about de-anonymizing ballots in Georgia, and the inside scoop on the (unpublished) Puerto Rican election systems report, among many others. info.defcon.org/defcon34/vil...

Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him

It's official: @se.gfau.lt is the winner of the @defcon.bsky.social 34 @rfhackers.bsky.social World Wide War Drive! CONGRATS on a quad well-stumbled!

1 hour warning for the World Wide War Drive!

OK stumblers 303 files left to score, but if you want your drive scored in the @defcon.bsky.social 34 @rfhackers.bsky.social World Wide War Drive it's got to be uploaded before 1am US/Pacific. Act NOW!

Participants in the @defcon.bsky.social 34 @rfhackers.bsky.social World Wide War Drive: 1. Only points found *during the contest* will be counted toward the contest. Stockpiling slows things down for everyone, gets you no points. 2. WiGLE never accepts .kismet binary SQLite databases. Export CSV!

since folks have been asking: your World Wide War Drive uploads start processing as soon as they pass the "Final Stats" stage - "Geo/Catalog Indexing" proceed in parallel with calculating your score!

Over 1.3M points uploaded during the @defcon.bsky.social 34 @rfhackers.bsky.social WWWD, with just over 36 hours left! REMINDER: CHECK. YOUR. GPS. FIX!!!

Cell-site simulators (CSS, also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower. Our tool, Rayhunter, can help you find them. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
