Interesting Wifi Network Names

This past weekend I was in the University District in Seattle for a session of the political training class that I am in. I spend the day at a church located smack dab in the frat row and there were apartment complexes filled with students. There were dozens of Wifi networks but they all had WEP passwords turned on but they broadcasted their SSID. As an issue of good manners I think it is best to not broadcast the SSID and not show people your network if you are not going to let them log on to use it.

Here is a screen shot of one of the more interesting network names.

Seriosly, you can crack a WEP encrypted network in less than 2 minutes.

I call my network 'SKYNET'. It's encrypted with WPA2 but I hope that the connotations will scare freeloaders off from trying to connect.
