  1. I was waiting for the “passing on your left!” call, and there it is!

    Kudos to #50 #truemarmalade - kicking ass in the big board once again!

  2. In July the Radio Frequency Hackers Sanctuary and the team at WiGLE.net support an all out timesd event for WarDriving.

    It’s just bragging rights for the scoreboard mostly - however a factored number of your WarDrive points do count for the inperson DEFCON Wireless Village Capture The Flag event during the DEFCON gathering.

    This year I won, a lot like the first year I ever attempted it and I wrote it up completely so that you can understand how to post a lot of points on the scoreboard or maybe even win.

  3. If you wanna do #HamRadio / #AmateurRadio at the same while doing #WarDrive things you need to filter out the low 2m/70cm (140/440mhz) freq from blowing up the WarDrive rig. #WiFi #Wigle #Yaesu #2m #70cm

    The Yaesu #FTM500 is 50W of TX power.

    It’s still a risk.

    But we shall see how it all does.

  4. Looks like @WiGLEnet has quite a backlog for trilaterating (6543) and geolocating (485). Everyone except three uploaders is on the same rank with 0 discovered WiFis, and no new WiFis have been added to the database today

  5. Busy #wardrive day here in the @WiGLEnet big board 80’s!

    Had around 3 hours of concentrated gridding time and notched 31,417 new APs of 201,000 observed!

    3 #atomgps units uploaded last managed almost 1,000 not seen by my #wispy and #wigleWiFi phones.

    I think jjza and I swapped places at least twice already 😎

  6. A good day for an errands and a drive with beautiful weather before the rain again.

    Moved to 24th place on @ArkFromWiGLE @wiglenet

    #WarDrive #WiFi #Wigle #wiglenet

  7. Realized I never posted my high-tech #wifi antenna mounting system on the truck.

    One zip tie, one 8db wired antenna with magnetic base, done. Looped the wire around the luggage rack, zip tied, connected to the #wiSpy, one on each side of the roof. Holds at 70mph!

    #wardrive #wardriving @WiGLEnet

  8. On a 3 hour drive the #dnsDriveby managed to find 9 APs not seen by any of 4 other devices. Impressive considering it followed #wispy, S7, S9, and Pixel 6 uploads of the same route

    @WiGLEnet @lyndlabs @alexlynd #wardrive #alwaysBeWardriving

  9. Not a fair fight but the #dnsdriveby from @alexlynd held its own on a drive with an S7, S9, and #wiSpy uploads following it. External antennas for the WiSpy give it supreme advantage.

    Next time I upload it LAST to see if it squeezed out anything truly unique.

  10. First! Well maybe second after @jhewitt

    #wardriveruk beta 4 installed OTA on my @hackerboxes #wispy! Side B having OTA issues as advised so that side was done by hand.

    First upload to @WiGLEnet successful!

  11. The #MnRenaissanceFestival is one of the best in the country, and it’s one heck of a #wardrive source of @WiGLEnet goodness!

    Three phones (S7, S9, Pixel6) and the #wiSpy running for the day
    2,617 new #wifi
    60,829 new #BLE !!!

    The #wispy picked up 60,101 BLE devices alone. #amazing

    #allTheWifi #alwaysBeWardriving

  12. With a firm grip on position #99 on the @WiGLEnet board, I remind myself I still have not uploaded #WiSpy data! Brought everything I needed EXCEPT an SD card adapter. Uploads will wait for tomorrow night.

    One more travel day for more #dotsOnMaps

  13. Day 1 stats for #FlToAz on @WiGLEnet

    The Pixel 6 (left) is the full run, the S9 still gives ridiculously overstated Run Distance numbers for some reason.

    Back in the top 100 without the #wispy numbers!

    #pixel6 #S9 #CorePrime #S7
    #WarDrive #allTheWifi

  14. Holy crap Pixel 6 is a beast for battery life!

    @WiGLEnet #wigleWifi running for 14 hours and I still have 44% battery left.

    #wiSpy has consumed almost a full 10000MAh battery pack in the same timeframe

  15. The #UptownArtFair in Minneapolis proves to be a #wifi and #bluetooth target-rich environment, as expected!

    Ran the #wiSpy and three phones for about 3 1/2 hours, netted:

    3,229 new APs of >15,300 observed
    24,210 new BT of goodness knows how many seen

    #allTheWifi #alwaysBeWardriving #warDrive

  16. Well damn, this #pixel6 is a nice addition to the #wardrive family!

    Bottom to top, S7, S9, Pixel6, #wiSpy on a 4 1/4 hour run with ~3 hours inside the bar. The Wispy had to stay in the car, but loving the external antenna BLE results!
    Keep in mind the 243 NEW APs for the Pixel 6 are _after_ the S7 and S9 uploads. SWEEET!

    #allTheWifi #dotsOnMaps #alwaysBeWardriving @WiGLEnet

  17. First walk (with very slow dog in tow) looks pretty nice for the #pixel6. A very well worn path was taken, settings are the same across each.
    S7, S9, Pixel 6. OS varies.

    p.s. YES the S9 distance completely whack…

    Tomorrow we hit the road for a test against the #wiSpy !

    @WiGLEnet #wardrive #alwaysBeWardriving

  18. Holy cow, antennas outside the vehicle are a useful add-on. A drive in Minneapolis and around the 94 detour netted 19,396 APs with the #wiSpy versus 16K on the S7 and S9 inside the car.

    12K vs 4.5K Bluetooth

    My cables are probably not optimal, probably a bit too thin to not have some signal loss. But I’ll take the improvement!

  19. Prepping for #wwwd and finally got some external magnetic-mount antennas for the #WiSpy

    Magnets aren’t super strong but initial testing at neighborhood speeds shows they are good enough! Zip tie reinforcements should do the trick.

    Results are 🤩so far

  20. Going slow to go fast -- #warwalk!

    Another segment of a well worn path my wife and I have been walking for 20+ years netted 82 new APs with the #hackerBoxes #WiSpy. After picking up 32 new ones just a couple days ago.

    I think I bent the case a bit more, as it was 84 degrees out :)

    #wardrive #alwaysBeWardriving #dotsOnMaps

  21. Worked on the antenna combiner and the mini amps needed.

    Significant loss on the antenna combiner and RF amplification to the radios help eliminate that loss.

    Initial test with basic antennas seems to be very solid. Need to bolt everything down and get it back into the car. #WiFi #WarDrive #LotusSys #MiniCircuits #RF #IntelNUC #ZimaBoard #Hak5WiFiCoconut #CollectAllTheWiFi

  22. OK, That's all Folks.

    My December #WarDrive @ArkFromWiGLE Canon Ball Run has been completed.

    Dropped 320K new #WiFi into #Wigle for December.

    Broke 2M Mark.

    Grabbed 1M New WiFi in 140 Days.

    Jumped to 29 on the chart as of today.

    Thanks everyone out there.
