Wireless
From FridaV
Frida V. ❤ WiFi!
wifi related software on the bike
Frida V. connects automatically to open wireless networks. In the first prototype we used wpa-supplicant for this. On the OpenWRT in the second we use an elaborate shell script autoinet.sh
We have a scheme to detect whether an open access point also provides an open connection to the internet. It is a kind of ET phone home scheme using a script on our server and a shared secret.
Using two wifi cards we could be scanning on one and use the other one for connection. We try to get by with one by sticking our wifi logger into the automatic connection scripts. We're mostly interested in finding good open ones anyway.
We used kismet on the first prototype and it found a loot of signals in Rotterdam in 2004.
