Welcome to the DARKSIDE ..

After putting it off for years, and since my College going son
has bought a laptop for his graphic artist courses, I went to
Best buy and bought my wife one of those $499 Gateway laptops.
Fairly Decent machine - AMD ML32 64 bit processor, but has
Windows XP home on it. My son's has XP Media edition, so
now I have let 2 MicroSoft computers' into my HOUSE of Linux ...

Anyway, what turned out interesting was last night found 12 -
count 'em - 12 Wireless networks from my kitchen table.
2 were TOTALLY unsecured, the rest were reported to be secured,
but used WEP key with the 5 digit key - and all were
easily cracked . Example: SSID of EAST1234 and it's password
was EAST1 .... ANd most of them had the workgroup  as ...
You guessed it .. WORKGROUP or MSHOME ...


Sheessss'.... will Winsloth Luser's ever learn ?
