Avoiding be traced when WiFi roaming ...

This is by no means whatsoever cyberbusting rocket science and I seriously doubt that I am the first to notice and exploit these limitations in public WiFi.

Many free WiFi services demand the exchange of some personal details - such as name, email address, sometimes a phone number, often a postcode. In part to track you as a user, also as a way of getting valuable customer marketing details.

Not wishing to be overtly tracked, equally not wishing to be spammed by the establishments marketing team in the future. I literally exist as another …

Try it … 
First name: An
Second name: Other
Email: a@b.com
Postcode: W1A 4AA
Number: 0777 777 7777
More often, they will let you in - the process has to be quick, easy to accomplish using a smart phone and able to offer you meagre bandwidth to post away on the social inter web.

Extending this further, our government (in the UK) is keen to develop a culture tracking internet activity for all citizens in the name of counter terrorism and cyber defence. The notion is noble, the act however is futile. Unless they are able to track all devices via their hardware addresses (called a MAC) since purchase - they are on a long road to no hope.

I will not explore the details, but it takes little wit or intellect to be able to work out how to acquire an anonymous device then be able to participate in a range of online activities under the radar away from your normal place of inter web habits.

Now with WiFi available on many domestic as well as national bus services - you could easily nab WiFi en route - however you have the potential for there to be cameras recording your journey. What if you were so determined to have anonymous access that you decided to obtain the free wifi as a passenger of another vehicle.

Tracking a domestic bus is hard work - you will be continually stopping, starting and maybe illegally entering bus lanes. However many regional and national services also offer free wifi and are travelling up and down our motorways.

Their timetables are publicly available and they have common drop off points - that can be observed. Once you are on the motorway you can guarantee that they will cruise at a safe speed, one that can be easily duplicated - one of you driving the other using the wifi (as any other format is illegal and unsafe). 

With 100 metres available you can easily be in front or behind at a safe distance cruising at a safe speed with no issues. WiFi passenger acting as internet signal strength navigator. You do not need to be obvious, many safe drivers keep to the left hand lane (in the UK).


You never know, some people may be ashamed of their fluffy kitten fixation.

If airlines offer in-flight Wi-Fi, they should invest in an extra black box for security ...

Yijun Yu , The Open University and Andrew Smith , The Open University In-flight Wi-Fi is one of the most sought-after facilities for air travellers these days, now that laptops and smartphones are so common and so much of our working and personal life revolves around online services. But a US Government Accountability Office report has suggested that many in-flight wireless networks could expose the plane to being hacked or remotely controlled . In fact it’s of such a concern to US authorities that when a well-known computer security expert made an admittedly ill-thought-out joke about doing so on Twitter, he was promptly arrested, his computers confiscated, and subsequently banned from the airline . And all he was suggesting was to make the oxygen masks drop down. So it would appear that the stuff of Hollywood may jump from fiction to fact: Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore starred in the 2014 film Non-Stop , where a passenger hacking the aircraft’s internal wirel...

Wikipedia editors never walk alone: Hillsborough changes can be traced ... from @ConversationUK

Image
By Andrew Smith , The Open University According to the Liverpool Echo , UK government computers have been used to make offensive comments on the Wikipedia page detailing the 1989 Hillsbourgh Disaster over a number of years. The newspaper reports that revisions to the page have been made from computers using the government’s secure intranet since 2009. They include insults to Liverpool fans and a comment suggesting that fans were responsible for the football ground disaster, in which 96 people died. This case highlights the continual issue of trolling and cybervandalism on Wikipedia. It also shows how journalism is using good, technical forensic tools at the disposal of every cybercitizen. Cybercitizens can be good or bad So many of us use Wikipedia on a daily basis that it is one of the most visited websites in the world. Yet not that many of us really understand how it works. Wikipedia is based on the principle that the community can create, edit and refine pages covering...

Highlights and lowlights of 2014, a golden year for cybercrime from @ConversationUK

Image
Looking back, 2014 was not a good year for keeping things safe under digital lock and key. If a score was being kept, it might seem that the cybercriminals are in the lead, despite the valiant efforts – and own goals – from the cybersecurity profession worldwide. Cast your mind back to March , everyone was panicking about the HeartBleed bug. Based on an error in code upon which the majority of the world’s secure servers relied, experts had plenty of time to fix the issue. Sadly there was an array of conflicting information about changing passwords, leading to widespread confusion. While most IT administrators made sure this was managed in a professional manner, it created a stir that seemed to set the tone for the year. In May , online auction giant Ebay admitted to having been compromised. The site said its systems, with personal details of tens of millions of users, may have had been vulnerable for months. Everyone was advised, indeed forced, to change their password. In the...
