Ah the humble service set identifier! It seems to have grown from a simple way for access points to identify themselves to potential clients to a little public bulletin board for airing one’s grievances toward noisy neighbors or showcasing one’s wit.

What notable SSIDs have you run into out in the wild or created yourself?

    Maybe you could get a wifi channel to yourself by adding a bunch of fake AP’s on the same channel, and having your neighbouring routers automatically switch to a “less crowded” channel.

    They might use more heuristics than just the number of ssid’s advertised on a channel though.
