WiFi - Loki - Warwalking

Post by echoesofury »

Soo...I was kind of interested in 'Warwalking' since I've never heard that term used before...so I Wiki-ed it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warwalking

I scrolled down to the bottom for the list of related sites, and I came across this one:

http://loki.com/

The video below also gives an explaination of how it works:

But anyways...if it's possible for Loki to use WiFi access points to track the location of someone's computer, could the order be doing that same thing with Daniel's laptop? It may NOT be their car afterall, but their wireless internet adapter that is working as a tracking device.

Just a thought. :D

Yeah, that actually probably is that. I forgot they were toting the computer around.
One of my friends actually is a hacker. Professionally even. Sounds weird but he works for a company that tries hacking into sites(not to cause damage) just to test security and help companies come up with better security for their websites. Anyways on to my point, he was talking to me once telling me that he was going down to this conference with his wife. Sort of a... hackers conference per say. Professional hackers. He said that he wasnt going to even take his computer because even if you have wireless connected on your computer and it is on.. or did it have to even be on.. I am not sure but if you have wireless enabled, like not COMPLETELY turned off, someone could EASILY hack into it.

Computers always have tracking systems that hackers could get to. And since apparently the order is "everywhere" then hackers included.

But realistically, the medium this series is in, they cant afford to say the tracking is in the computer because they cant ditch the computer unless the series ended.

rofl I go warwalking around town because I don't have my own car.... I still haven't managed to find anything completely unprotected though :cry:.

To me it seems a lot more realistic that the order is hacking to track where his laptop is, rather than planting some tracking device on his car....

Thanks for watching as I fall.

It's possible, but like kristen said, not likely since the series is relying on his laptop to relay the videos to us at the moment.

A little interesting tidbit I found while searching for that symbol:

08:13 · This graph appears in the earliest Chinese writing system and in other very old systems. Its general meaning is to cleave, or cleft, split.

Could it be foreshadowing the seperation of Bree and Daniel?
