I've (net)stumbled across two strange sets of nodes in the twin cities metro area: 1. Ad-hoc nodes with bizarre MAC addresses, numeric names, and wide coverage. Examples are: Lat Long SSID MAC 44.9705833 -93.3708333 132137 86:01:20:01:9d:00 44.9512333 -93.3479333 132185 3e:02:16:00:72:02 44.9662667 -93.2710333 131057 22:00:96:02:12:01 44.8284500 -93.2922333 132027 66:03:fa:01:23:03 44.8284833 -93.3892167 130171 8e:01:99:02:3c:00 44.8886667 -93.3779667 132183 d6:02:07:00:07:00 44.9487667 -93.1073 128169 4e:00:95:00:ce:02 44.8743167 -93.3282833 131061 be:03:a1:00:93:02 44.7465667 -93.2932333 128147 b2:00:bd:01:98:01 There's obviously some structure there, but I'll be darned if I can see it. Attached is a map showing their location (by "location", I mean the co-ords with the highest S/N ratio, given the huge coverage some of these nodes.) Does anyone have any idea what these might be ? 2. "Cablegon" nodes, these include "Cablegon LaSalle" (qty 8 around LaSalle plaza downtown Mpls), "Cablegon Linden", "Cablegon South" and "Cablegon River". These all seem medium coverage nodes. The mac addresses check out as Entrasys (nee Cabletron.) They all run WEP. Assorted searches for "cablegon" turn up the empty set; again, does anyone have any ideas ? -- andyw at pobox.com Andy Warner Voice: (612) 801-8549 Fax: (208) 575-5634 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
