Toronto, The Naked City

PunWork writes "In an effort to promote wireless network security, Toronto consulting firm IpEverywhere (pun intended) has published a map of downtown Toronto, showing the location of both encrypted and unencrypted ('naked') wireless networks. Is this going to help spread awareness, or is this just going to encourage people to abuse the (apparently) ignorant? The Toronto Star has a story about the map and the consulting firm here."

Santa seems pretty lax on security, you'll notice.

United States Consulate - honeypot?

[Malc]

It looks like two of the pins are almost in the right spot for the US Consulate (although it might be the next building up the road). Honeypot or clueless government officials?

hmmm. I only tried submitting an article dealing with that topic last week [slashdot.org]

Flash?

[b1t r0t]

I don't see any map. All I get is a couple of pictures and two plug-in boxes. Either the site is slashdotted, or it requires you to run "Naked Flash". I refuse to leave Flash enabled because of all the annoying web ads that now (ab)use it.
