I'm going to change mine to "POLICE_MONITORING" to discourage drive-by attacks and worry my neighbours.

Actually, on the subject of neighbours, I might change mine to "LEARN_TO_PARK".

Friend used to have his mobile's Bluetooth id as "Police Scanner 234/11-2". Always amazed me how many people would approach sheer panic when their phone found it.

Not really, no. Not legally 😉

you could argue it is broadcasting a profanity and speak to the police or just ask liam nicely

You could change your SSID so that the first two words are the same as his and the third is "goats"?

After asking a similar question recently, I changed mine to:

TV_LICENSE_MONITORING

This was intented to upset the chavs over the road who boast about streaming all their tv so they don't have to pay the license fee 😆

Got an old spare wifi router (DSL bit broke) that I was going to set up, with completely open wifi, but not connected to anything at all, just for laughs. Might even put the admin passwd back to default too, to see how long it lasts.

Need to think of a SSID for that. Got a few choices... default SSID? something that might make someone think they're hacking into something interesting?

you could set it up with it's own dns lookup that directs any request to the same nsfw url?

Go for something really common that most people will have already in their list of WiFi networks. Then, start playing with the connection a little...

Have a look at something like https://www.funkypenguin.co.nz/tutorial/april-fools-pranks-with-a-squid-proxy-server/ and make all traffic on the network go through it (default rote settings).

Really helpful, not, unless she's an inquisitive geek with a wifi signal strength measurement app and starts wandering around the neighbourhood trying to find the source.

Why does everybody have underscores in their network names - mine seems to work just fine with spaces?
