Wardriving in style

Wardriving in style: a car with a huge antenna on it and a sign.

Spotted this thing cruisin’ through the streets of Newtown a week or so back. I want one. For those who can’t see great, it’s a vehicle with two big mumma antennas hooked up to a guy with a laptop sitting inside (yes, hooked up to the guy, the laptop is just so he can play CS… what do you think I meant?), whilst the sign on the back reads “CAUTION: Slow moving vehicle, Radio coverage testing”.

In other words, All Your WEP/WPA Are Belong To Us. Classy.

Later: When writing this post I spelt “Antenna” as “Umbrella”. Apologies for any other gaping mistakes — clearly, I’m not quite with it.
