Has anyone ever heard of doing a simple wifi system using only the SSIDs? I had a product/software in mind that would use that. Either just some software you can run on a laptop -or- a new product using 802.11b but sort of like a portable social game thing device.
Basically two clients talking to one another, exchanging VERY simple communications using the SSID and the detection of certain fields in the SSID.
Like this.. .
assume both clients are not associated.
assume they are both running software to allow control and detection of ssid (netstumbler) type. Stations are beaconing to grab other SSID's.
assume they can record and store SSID's for later conversion and browsing.
then
station 1 ssid of #434$poptopic.net
station 2 ssid of #3323slashdot.org
(these are both websites of the owners of the devices)
station 1 detects #2 station SSID beacon. Assumes station #2 can see his SSID.
Stations 2 changes SSID temporarily to #3323slashdot.org#434$
station 1 detects new SSID from 2, recognizing comm software in use and acknoledged. Station 1 records SSID of station 2. (slashdot.org)
Station 1 changes ssid to #434$poptopic.net#3323 temporarily to show station 2 they communicated.
Station 2 sees new SSID from station 1 and records SSID of station 1 (poptopic.net)
Both stations revert to original ID's. Software won't allow one station to start the process again if it has already seen the other SSID (prevent duplicates) within say an hour or so.
Both users can later use a different network connection to browse the websites of the other users. Also I had some other ideas on this. I am looking for people to help develop the software if anyone is interested.
I also had an idea of people just putting their website addresses in the SSID. I know, bad security but just think how much fun wardriving would be? You collect all the SSID while driving then go check out their websites once you get on the internet.
Thoughts?
I figured post in the linux group as all the good hacking software for wifi seems to run on linux.
