Thus spake Tyler Durden (camera_lumina@hotmail.com) [25/03/05 10:30]: : Has anyone heard of a utility that can search for a WiFi hotspot while : driving and then launch an email? Someone once said, "Cypherpunks write code." : In other words, say you want to send out a few anonymous emails, and you : don't even want to enter a Cyber-cafe or whatever. So you load up the : emails in your mail tool and drive down Main Street. The launcher utility : detects the presence of open wi-fi hotspots and belches out a few of the : emails while the spot's in range....all the while you don't even slow down. : : Sounds possible to me. the only problem might be the need for : authentication, etc...in some hotspots, but given enough hotspots surely : there are some that don't need it... I imagine that, depending on where you're driving, you wouldn't need to bother with hotspot authentication: you're bound to stumble onto an open WiFi network at *some* point in your journey. Given that there already exists utilities that detect WiFi networks and map them with GPS units, I don't think it would take much to, at that point, run, say, 'postfix start && postqueue -f'. Or perhaps mixmaster/mixminion might be more appropriate. It sounds not only possible, but plausible. And I'd be surprised if someone didn't already have this working somewhere.
