878446 2010-04-22 01:33:00 You should give your wireless network a virus name like W32/Conficker_Virus or similar. :lol: GR8Metal (14133)
878447 2010-04-22 02:05:00 I must admit I am starting to like Morgenmuffel myself Morgenmuffel (187)
878448 2010-04-22 03:35:00 Mine's the name of a chemical element, like the rest of the devices on my network :) jwil1 (65)
878449 2010-04-22 04:03:00 I would call mine "Abandon all hope, ye who enter" if I had one.

It would consist of an access point and a single computer, running XP without any antivirus software and loaded up with as much malware as it could handle.

One effectively security ploy is to call your wireless network something like "Panasonic PT-LB10NTU "

This makes it seem like a panasonic wireless projector with wireless left enabled which is probably not worth the time trying to hack into, additional "security by deception".

878451 2010-04-22 04:15:00 Exactly that, when i turn my lappie on, other peoples networks all have boring names.


I don't particularly want to see my networks as "Nigels network" or "brandname network"

but i can't make a decision

So i thought i would put my top choices up and let people pick it for me

You could call it "not yours" so when outsiders happen to chance upon it, they will get the message.

Even better - put Norton on it :D :D :lol: :lol:

Is the name going to attract hackers?

Man, have you got an inflated ego, or what :(
