Javiers World

Well I was looking around my neighborhood for other wireless networks when I found like 10 different wireless networks. They were all like: West4933, West4873, and so on. Also I found other ones like 2wire771. Anyways what im trying to find out is why these wireless networks have the same names, repeat themselves, and are all are encrypted with WEP keys, but have no signals. WHY? I have no clue. Im using KisMAC version 0.2.99. I also use istumbler. So what I want everyone to do, is go to there wireless Networks and scan for wireless networks and if you see wireless networks that have almost the same name and repeat, take a picture from the computer, using either a Digital camera, or just download one of these programs I list to record your screen. Just download the Demos.
