Today started out with my trying to find the Van Slyke house on Ramapo Mountain State Forest in Oakland, NJ but turned into another wardrive with 404 APs. This brings my total up to 5133 APs. I took Rt 287 to get to Oakland, but since I didn’t find what I was originally looking for, I decided to take Rt 202 home so the day wouldn’t be a total loss. If only I could get my DeLorme Earthmate USB GPS to work in Linux so I could try Kismet.

 

I went wardriving again today. This time, I went to Manville and some parts of Somerville. I came across 472 APs, only 123 had WEP/WPA encryption turned on, and 121 were still using the default SSID. So far this month, I have found 978 APs. I still plan on going wardriving again next week while I’m on vacation. I’ll be heading to Hillsborough and a few Weird NJ spots including Grover’s Mill (the place where H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds took place).

 

I went out for a wardrive today. I decided to drive around some of towns I used to go to when I worked for UnitedNational/UnitedTrust Bank. So I was in Blairstown, Belvidere, Phillipsburg, and Greenwich along with all the towns along the way. I came across 368 APs with 81 being set to the default SSID, and 266 without WEP/WPA encryption turned on. For a very rural area, it had more APs than I would’ve expected. I’ll be doing more wardrives when I go on vacation next week. On my list of places are: Hillsborough, Somerville, and whatever Weird NJ places I go to.

 

I went out for a wardrive with the new card today and it picked up a lot of access points that the old card didn’t. I found 669 APs, out of which only 196 had WEP/WPA encryption turned on. I have noticed that more and more APs I come across do have some type of encryption turned on. It’s almost to the point where it’s 50% of all APs.
