Newcastle Hotel fun (no not that kind.)
I was staying in a Newcastle hotel a couple of years ago, ironically for an info sec based course and took to poking around their wifi, which was entirely open. I decided to give it a quick scan from my trusty Nexus 7.
I was a bit surprised to find switches using default password, pay terminals with the same, printers open to anyone to abuse.
So I put together details of all of this and printed off 200 copies on every printer on the network, every day until I left.
I've still no idea if they've fixed it but I hope they've at least replaced the old WEP access point in the bar.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
