LOS ANGELES, CA (HBN) – Daily Wireless recently filed reports on a recent warflying expedition to LA. Two aircrafts established a p2p connection and discovered 3151 networks.
Team DailyWireless.com and Tom’s Hardware were able to successfully establish a point to point link between two airplanes flying in parallel for the first time in the History of the World.
“Additionally, we were able to address the topic of wireless security by collecting data resulting in the most access points detected in a single flight and arguably in the given time period (approximately 80 minutes). Of the vast number of access points detected, only about 30% were encrypted. This clearly shows the need to publicly recognize and address the lack of understanding and regard with respect to wireless security.”
I don’t know about you but when I’m looking out the window I am going to look at small planes a little bit differently now. When people tap into your un-encrypted wireless network they can read your e-mail, read Excel files and cause all sorts of havoc!
WarFliers beware! You are being watched!
Hmmm… But WarFlying sounds so fun….
