I don’t know if this is a real FBI surveillance van or a prank by some smartypants neighbor, but I’m renaming my Wi-Fi network right now. [Thanks Karl!] More »

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.4: WHERE IS IT ?????

FBI surveillance Van # 41 reporting in

My neighbor’s network is Tits McGee. Mine is CTU and though I’d love to change it to CIA Satellite X23-Norte, I don’t feel like redoing the wireless network on my Wii.

@RadRique: Great, now no one will fall for it. Buzzkill.

@dtptampa: Har har har.

My SSID has been “FBI Antipiracy Division #1687” for years. I have an open network and get zero freeloaders.

@blyan-reloaded: no thank you, I don’t go that way.
dtptampa
Well done. *slow clap*

@Sublethalend: That was the first thing I noticed

@Sublethalend: We such nerds I was thinking that too…
Norbs
@johnsonjunk: I went with “Auto-Spam bot”
dgstan
@Sublethalend: Nonsense, they use WEP
Link2187
@Sublethalend: Yep, I saw that and thought the exact same thing.

Mine is just called THE CUNTIEST OF ROUTERS.
Am I allowed to say that? And yes, it’s in all caps like that. Seriously. Fuck my router. It’s a dick.
Edit: by dick, I mean that other word that I’m still not sure I can say.

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.4: I can imagine that SSID would get you a visit from the police.

I named mine Big Brother … but I do like that one a lot. I don’t know what to do!

UNSC-TAC-DEF-COMP

You really don’t know?

Mine was ‘dontstealme’, but now it’s ‘CONNECT HERE FOR A VIRUS’.

If you want people to stay away from it, and you have no shame, just name it CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.
I’m sticking to ECHO BASE and NETGEAR SOLID for my airport and WGT-264 though.
Kaiser-Machead v.2.4
Wait a minute. The number 42 is in it. It can’t be real.
NanorH
My SSID has always been “USGOV” but I like that one better =D
Time for a change.

iamacopinthearmy recently moved away. I’m sad.
Apoch
Mine is called hezbollah

@ddhboy: My thoughts exactly.

The fact that its #42 makes me think its fake

I am now proud owner of FBI Surveillance Van #381
versii
Well now I’m going to have to change my Wifi network’s name.
ddhboy
Tomorrow on Wiki-Leaks: The WPA codes to everyone of these vans.
And the home addresses of those who work in them.
And their favourite type of cake!

I had a doubletake. My house’s network is called Surveillance Van #46. My roommate got it from somewhere online so it’s not surprising but the number was close haha.
knolly
For the longest time, my wifi network was named “Erase my hard drive”
trs
FBI Surveillance Van #42 is using WPA? I hope that’s not the real FBI.
Sublethalend
I named mine Virus Depot.
johnsonjunk
I have to admit that is an awesome idea.
spencercal
Hah, that’s awesome. I wish I had thought of that myself.
