Your devices broadcast looking for your well known ssid. This combined with war driving makes bullet proof method of fingerprinting you.
Google automatically "war drives" every SSID near you, including your own, using your own phone for "location services".
You can ad _nomap. to the end of the SSID to "Opt Out". They probably don't opt you out (why the jew would the shitskins?) but at least you can "try". I think apple does the same thing too.
Can you explain this war driving thing for the average person?
"War Driving" became popular back when Wifi was starting to get popular.
Basically, you would literally drive around with something like a Laptop with a GPS and some WiFi device that as you drove it would record gps locations, SSID (network names), Mac addresses for the SSIDs (so even if you change the name, the device is still tracked and now you know its new name) as well as time and security settings for the network.
The "modern" version is basically that all cell phones also use SSID's along with GPS and other GeoIP tricks for glandular location data. Because of the data captured you can get a good idea of where someone/something is based on the SSIDs/Mac Addresses near the device. You can even use these inside large buildings for basic "gps like" navigation and tracking.
War Driving is a "modern" version of "War Dialing". That was a whole different thing and was back in the earlier days of the (dial up) internet. You basically would use something that would have the modem in your computer auto-call phone numbers and recording information on that number. Stuff like - Did it pick up, Did it seem like a computer/fax machine, Was it not connected... etc...etc...
Sure, there are a variety of challenges with this.
I was thinking about carrying your device into the local bigbox store or grocery store chain.
Everywhere you go, your phone or laptop is looking for it's known ssids.
If people can tie you to your locations via discreet service Id numbers, you're not escaping regardless.
SpaceX is demonstrating with Starlink that watching mobile devices from orbit is incredibly effective. You can hop on Starlink without any special antennas.
The real play is to have a separate Wi-Fi router that is just there to broadcast this SSID, not even connected to the Internet. Bonus if you leave it open and have a local web server that delivers some educational content.
Yes. Good strategy. An open work that redirects to goyim.tv or something
