Wardriving wasn’t only reconnaissance. It was mobility. As you moved through a city or town, your card could drop one SSID and latch onto the next. Coffee shop, library, offices, video rental stores, etc. The connection followed the street grid. Connectivity became something you drifted through.

You learned which blocks handed off cleanly, which APs were stable and which ones choked under load. It was RF cartography and opportunistic roaming at the same time. Cities and towns weren't just mapped, they were stitched together by signal.

Il y a 40 ans, Arpanet sortait du contrôle militaire

Il y a quelques jours, on a fêté les 40 ans de la division d’Arpanet, créant les deux premiers systèmes autonomes (AS). Cette scission ne vous dit peut-être rien, mais il s’agissait alors de séparer les activités militaires du res...

That goes for this post, BTW. It would make me happy if I could help start a trend of unearthing and spreading old Web content. The Web isn't just the things someone's just created. Please, your most beloved internet things, tell your friends about them! That is how things on the Web can survive over time, and reach future generations. We don't have to surrender them to cold dark Entropy. #oldweb #internet #memes #web #worldwideweb #webhistory #nethistory

I love that people all have their own #NetHistory sagas, depending on their ages. #mIRC or #MSNMessenger, #Friendster, #Bebo, #HabboHotel or now #Snapchat and #TikTok. When and how we first got online is a rite of passage now.

Sorry, I'm rambling, as ever!
