@arstechnica Wait until people start pointing high energy directed beam wi-fi transmitters at drones flying near voting locations. Either burn out the electronics or feed 'em billions upon billions of SSIDs.

@karlauerbach @arstechnica Hundreds of SSIDs with variants of "MikeLindellIsADufus".

@trashpanda_x @arstechnica Can SSIDs contain null (0x00) bytes? (Domain names can, but few know it.) When I tried that with domain names it was amazing how many things failed because they used things like strcpy() that stopped when they encountered a null byte.
