What are the best SSID names? reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BelugaBilliam · 2023-11-30 22:23 This post may not fit perfectly with self hosted, but I couldn't think of a sub that fits more, since this sun has lots of people with IT abilities and likely some unique SSID names. What's the best ones you've come up with? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cosmicrae · 2023-11-30 22:25 When my fiber was installed, I had to decide what to use for a SSID ... after many failed starts, I ended up with **NGO** Because I'm a non-governmental organization (me), and because its New Gigabit Optical. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zfa · 2023-11-30 22:32 Just remember [wigle](https://www.wigle.net/) exists. So there's a trade-off between having an SSID unique enough to not be in rainbow tables, say, and having one that's not so unique as to literally be PII. Of course, some people don't care and just go for the lulz and that's cool too. Pretty Fly for a Wifi, Tell my Wifi Love Her, It Hertz When IP, FBI Surveillance Van, We Can hear You Having Sex etc etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- meijad · 2023-11-30 22:38 Public Relations Office - 5G and Ministry of Defense Room 73 are some of my old ones ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zezimeme · 2023-11-30 22:44 “Hidden” is one I use ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Porculius · 2023-11-30 22:47 2girls1router ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kFURVqNY2BAxD2UtP2rq · 2023-11-30 22:52 Loading... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- buddhist-truth · 2023-11-30 22:57 Bathroom Cam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Xivoryn · 2023-11-30 23:05 Never Gonna Give You WiFi Pretty Fly for a WiFi TakeMyWiFi MyWiFiIsBetterThanYours ---------------------------------------------------------------------- horus-heresy · 2023-11-30 23:10 METAL NETGEAR SOLID is the one I’ve used now since 2000s ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AncientSumerianGod · 2023-11-30 23:11 ICanHearYouFucking if you live in an apartment building or row house. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- guerd87 · 2023-11-30 23:19 Dropitlikeitshotspot ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dramradhel · 2023-11-30 23:21 As an installer of fiber internet, and a 15 year vet of DSL installs, I’ve seen them all.

All my devices have star wars/trek names that reference them (for example Coruscant is my main router because it has the most traffic, things like that). It helps me keep track of which device is which without using names like living-room-server-002. My usernames have similar naming which helps me keep track of who has what permissions on what device (or planet as I see them). If the one hacking me is a fan it could help them out I suppose, but they'd need to know what I associate with what place/character/device in star wars/trek. So it probably would be much help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- randomfrequency · 2023-12-01 00:10 Flowers By Irene delivery ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ConsciousBank4668 · 2023-12-01 00:12 Cleaver ---------------------------------------------------------------------- soapymoapysuds · 2023-12-01 00:22 A WiFi Has No Name ---------------------------------------------------------------------- belegund · 2023-12-01 00:27 BigBigPenis ---------------------------------------------------------------------- discernica · 2023-12-01 00:28 Saw one recently at a restaurant: "No Wifi" Stops a lot of people asking I guess I use "Virus," "Infection," and "Malware" and the like ---------------------------------------------------------------------- layer4andbelow · 2023-12-01 00:32 I use very generic names so people around or neighbors cannot identify its origin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TenuredKarma1 · 2023-12-01 00:35 For the win.

But for a rainbow table. A rainbow table is a list of precomputed hashes (from functions like md5 or sha) and the input that got them there. Not having read the spec for any wpa encryption algorithm but going off memory I believe I recall it might be used in the the handshake for a wireless client connecting to a network that uses a hash function based off something like adding the ssid + password + challenge in some manner but way more complex to try and generate a longer string for the hash function but way more complex method. If a handshake connection is captured the password can be derived using the rainbow table as a reverse lookup given the challenge and ssid ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ocabrah · 2023-12-01 01:58 WutangLan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tenebris-alietum · 2023-12-01 02:00 2packets1payload ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheMetalMilitia · 2023-12-01 02:02 I'm even more confused now ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pattymcfly · 2023-12-01 02:04 _BoingoHotSpot ---------------------------------------------------------------------- selfexpression101 · 2023-12-01 02:04 I think I kinda understand better.

Adds zero security, and your devices need to constantly probe to see if the network is in range. So instead of your WAP saying "hey, here's the network", your device needs to constantly ask "hey network, you there?" until it connects to it. Android advises against hiding your SSID, "This may create a security risk because your phone will regularly broadcast its signal to find the network." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- echelon37 · 2023-12-01 04:45 <=======3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- shocklance · 2023-12-01 04:47 Was studying in the uni library once and came across someone hotspotting off of "Plato's Rave" which made me snort. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aero_programmer · 2023-12-01 04:50 Make WiFi Great Again Join My MLM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dbhathcock · 2023-12-01 04:52 Netgear_8.6_GHz ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RaiseRuntimeError · 2023-12-01 04:52 I always went with " PD surveillance van #9" wherever I lived.

It's populated by e.g. stealing databases with cleartext password/hash combinations, or by having a service constantly generating passwords and their respective hashes. This is **only** useful for hacking if the hashes aren't salted properly. **Salting** means that you take e.g. *Password* and throw in some other factor, such as a timestamp or background noise from the universe (digitalized) which will never ever be guessed *before* the hash is generated. Your hash will now be unique, and will not show up on any rainbow table ever (unless it is compromise on a database level). > Wouldn't a complicated password create a hash outside of a pre- compiled list? Well yes and no. **+++++Passw0rd!+!+!** can be argued to be complicated, but it's not unique (haven't checked any rainbow table, but I'm guessing it's in there). **jen3jkfo93bfu&#,%">nenf** is both unique **and** complicated, and will almost certainly bot show up on a rainbow table. **thissmitebetehlongessstpasswordeverandnoonewoulldeverrrwanttttotypee ittallinnn** is not very complicated, but it is very likely unique, and will therefore likely not show up on a rainbow table. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ClintE1956 · 2023-12-01 04:53 Yeah it's more obfuscation than anything.

To validate the logon the user inputs a password, it is converted to a hash by the agreed upon algo and if the hash corresponds to the stored hash, it must be the same password. Rainbow tables effectively take all possible passwords and "pre-hash" them allowing for very rapid testing "Is this the hash?" "What about this one?" "This one?" Super effective for brute forcing shorter password lengths, but longer passwords require larger rainbow table sets (i.e. all combinations of letters and numbers in 4 characters passwords is orders of magnitude smaller than in 14 characters) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- keppycs · 2023-12-01 05:06 I am going to die ---------------------------------------------------------------------- L0g4in · 2023-12-01 05:07 404 network not found ---------------------------------------------------------------------- unicorn-boner · 2023-12-01 05:09 Please don’t. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- unicorn-boner · 2023-12-01 05:10 I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable ---------------------------------------------------------------------- unicorn-boner · 2023-12-01 05:10 Do you like Mozart? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- keppycs · 2023-12-01 05:11 My life lays in your hands ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tipened · 2023-12-01 05:16 Haha I came her to say Pretty Fly For A Wifi cause that's my SSID ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JustFrogot · 2023-12-01 05:23 I actually laughed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- antdude · 2023-12-01 05:50 Do they still work with very old wifi devices? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RickMuffy · 2023-12-01 05:56 Remember to throw a /s to show sarcasm.

The most important part is that given the *output*, there is no way to predict the *input*. For example, "abcd" might result in "e2fc714c4727ee9395f324cd2e7f331f" while "abce" might result in "b9c4fe92c2a30ef69833ac8f53eebcec". If you have an input it is trivial to calculate the output, but given an output the only way to determine the input is by *trying all possible values*. Because there's a virtually unlimited number of inputs this should take forever, making an attack impossible. Well, that's the *intention* at least. In practice people don't use completely random passwords but use common phrases, with perhaps some small modifications. Something like "P4ssw0rd!". This means we could let a computer churn through all the hundreds millions of likely password candidates **once** and let it create a huge list where you can just *look up the input* for the most likely outputs. That's called a "rainbow table". To prevent this attack you use something called a "salt". In essence, this is a *completely random* value you add to your input, making rainbow tables impossible. You'd need to create a unique rainbow table for every possible salt. Rather than spending six months creating one rainbow table of 50GB, you are now making 2 billion rainbow tables in 1 billion years, taking up 100.000.000 TB. It seems wifi tried to do something similar, but screwed it up by using the network name as salt, instead of a truly random value. When there are many millions of networks called "linksys", "home", or "verizon" it suddenly becomes viable to create per-name hash tables again. So yeah, having a common network name makes you more vulnerable to attacks on your password, while having a unique network name makes you more vulnerable to being doxxed if you ever accidentally share it in a screenshot or something. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ieris19 · 2023-12-01 08:25 This makes jo sense, SSID is the broadcasted name of the network not some kind of secret to be hashed. You need to have a secure internet password but how does a name that’s literally broadcasted end up in a rainbow table and what purpose would that have? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- g105b · 2023-12-01 08:33 My neighbour has "SEND TP FOR MY BUNG HOLE" and it always makes me chuckle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PlatypusLaser · 2023-12-01 08:38 Loading… is my favorite and tricks 2/3 people ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Xiakit · 2023-12-01 08:43 A friend of mine uses Wlania Trump ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bpr2102 · 2023-12-01 08:45 At uni I used to run "GetInGetHacked" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dontquestionmyaction · 2023-12-01 08:46 What you said has nothing to do with a rainbow table.

If your ssid is common enough then a rainbow table may exist precomputed for your salt making low-entropy passwords extremely vulnerable. An unusual ssid greatly reduces the chances of having precomputed hashes available to an assailant. It's WiFi cracking 101. Lots of guides out there, and interesting to play with if you want to while away a couple of hours. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ieris19 · 2023-12-01 09:09 Yeah, but then you go get yourself a real password. You can calculate the hash of the SSID regardless because it’s public lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lvlint67 · 2023-12-01 09:12 We had ours ssid set to: "🚁🛩️🐱🐍" For a few days... The garage door opener and the Nintendo switch didn't like that... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zfa · 2023-12-01 09:15 Lol. Of course you can calculate the hashes haha. But when you're trying to crack a password you're going the other way hence why you don't want the hash of your 'ssid+password' being common enough to be in an easily obtained rainbow table in which you can look it up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ieris19 · 2023-12-01 09:18 Yeah? But I don’t see why your SSID has to be anything other than an aesthetic choice. A rainbow table needs to have the exact combination of ssid+password to do anything. If I had enough interest I could precompute common passwords against the ssid I want, regardless of what it is. But in all of those cases, having a real password such as the one all ISPs provide completely negates any argument where the SSID’s “commonness” has any effect on the security of your network. So as I said in my previous comment, get a real password and call it a day ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zfa · 2023-12-01 09:21 *"Tell me you don't understand why people use rainbow tables without telling me you don't understand why people use rainbow tables"* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- eSascha · 2023-12-01 09:24 MartinRouterPing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ieris19 · 2023-12-01 09:27 I know what a rainbow table is and how it’s used. I just don’t know how it would apply here. I’m aware that creating your own table with a given salt for common passwords is NOT a rainbow table nor why people use them. But I’m saying that to illustrate the fact that it doesn’t matter to begin with. A rainbow table saves you the step of brute-forcing it by giving you a precomputed list of ready made hashes. In both scenarios, the password needs to be common because regardless of salt, a strong password will produce a hash that won’t be in a rainbow table, nor can it be brute-forced by a dictionary of common passwords. As long as your password is secure enough, no amount of brute-forcing your password’s hash or rainbow tables can help. I am not a security expert by any means, but I am a software engineer with a brief course on network and cybersecurity from uni, and I know my basics. You haven’t addressed my point that a strong password negates the need for a unique SSID ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zfa · 2023-12-01 09:36 Correct, if a password is high enough entropy to not be in the rainbow table then it's secure against that attack regardless of ssid. I think I did say that somewhere previously. But do you know how many bits of entropy that needs to be to not be available in a table for a common ssid like 'Linksys' (rhetorical)? I don't but it's likely try have a fair old table available these days. Three posts ago you didn't understand why SSIDs mattered wrt rainbow tables, > how does a name that’s literally broadcasted end up in a rainbow table and what purpose would that have? I'm just trying to explain that, not win a pissing contest here. You're right about high entropy securing things, and I've explained what role the ssid takes in common rainbow table attacks do I think we're just furiously agreeing here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ieris19 · 2023-12-01 09:44 Like I said, no security expert, didn’t know WPA packets salted password with SSID, but as soon as that was said, I understood it still doesn’t matter if you have a good password. Idk how many bits of entropy a password would need, but I’ve only heard of those when bruteforcing never around rainbow tables, but any password much like ISPs provide (12-20 random alphanumeric characters) will easily be a strong enough password. This really is not an issue unless your password is “wifiPassword” or something of sorts ---------------------------------------------------------------------- phein4242 · 2023-12-01 09:47 how about 🗃️🖋️🧮📚📌🖍️ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- unixuser011 · 2023-12-01 09:50 Panic! at the Cisco ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lovett1991 · 2023-12-01 10:04 Mine is Galactica! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BobtheGodGamer · 2023-12-01 10:28 Said is just the identifier, not a password right so that wouldn't give you the password ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nero8762 · 2023-12-01 10:34 I_Eat_Ass ---------------------------------------------------------------------- zfa · 2023-12-01 10:40 See my other replies... WPA/WPA2 encryption salts passwords with the SSID prior to hashing and this makes low entropy passwords vulnerable to fast rainbow table cracking. An unusual ssid means a rainbow table is less likely to be available making an attacker have to brute force the passwords (non-trivial as pbkdf2 key stretching is used). So yes, common ssid can make cracking attempts much quicker (rainbow table vs direct brute force attack). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SamSausages · 2023-12-01 10:41 Surveillance-van ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DreiPunktVier · 2023-12-01 10:44 disconnected ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MacaroniAndSmegma · 2023-12-01 11:01 PENIS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HecateRaven · 2023-12-01 11:04 TestCovid5g ---------------------------------------------------------------------- foomatic999 · 2023-12-01 11:05 I didn't look into either specs or implementation, so just from somewhat limited experience: The text is very likely stored as UTF-8.

I mean, it’s not a perfect solution but the proximity issue makes it much more likely your IP will be used to host an international botnet. More likely a neighbor kid that will download torrents and kill your bandwidth cap. Also, if it’s setup most of the newer rented routers from Comcast will alert their app if a new device connects to the network. That’s quite a red flag. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cop3x · 2023-12-01 14:48 one near me.

He said he was on some flight and someone had an access point set up that was trying to imitate the airline WiFi, but was very obviously not the airline WiFi. He said he told one of the flight attendants and they announced over the PA system that anyone that might have a WiFi access point with them needed to turn it off immediately. He said it went off about 30 seconds later. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- labnerde · 2023-12-01 18:24 Average also is a range, you shall consider average in Cambodia is 10,04 cm (3,9 freedom units) and Equador around 17,61 cm (6,7 freedom units) So when you extra average you’ll be at least 10,05 cm.

People connect to it, and maybe open their bank or whatever. By controlling the access point to you can also set it so a URL redirects to your own service I.E a fake Facebook front so they enter their details and you now have it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- netvip3r · 2023-12-01 21:37 "You can't evade me forever" I have my WiFi router set to not broadcast SSID ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KN4MKB · 2023-12-01 21:58 I'm pretty sure you were just ignorant of the fact that hashed SSIDs in rainbow tables could be used for attacks and refuse to just accept that they can.

Workstations/desktops get LOTW character names. Servers get Tolkien place names. Small computers (Raspberry Pis, cell phones) get Tolkien dwarf names. Networks (including SSIDs) get Tolkien region names. I try make it meaningful when I can. Back when I had an OS/2 desktop it was Samwise (which means half-wise (and some people call OS/2 half an OS)). Back when my local network was connected to the internet through dial-up, the server that acted as the firewall was Morannon (the Black Gate (though I haven't yet named a network Mordor)). Under this scheme Arnor or Rhun might be used for SSIDs (which are, essentially, network names). On the subject of authentication, for WiFi I use passphrases - typically familiar (to me) sentences from my own private writings (of course, it helps if you actually \*have\* private writings). The length makes cracking it more difficult. Being from my private writings makes it easier to remember, yet unlikely to be guessed. Happily, you don't often type Wifi passphrases, so the length is less of a pain. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- iTmkoeln · 2023-12-02 00:42 I do hope your bank does TLS with something like diffie Helman Key Exchange ---------------------------------------------------------------------- greenscoobie86 · 2023-12-02 01:00 Barone Sanitation.

The user names associate with the places in a way that makes sense in my head too. Han has full control of Falcon for example, where as Lando would have read only. Just makes it easier for me to visualize what I'm doing sometime, and it's also it's kind of fun to try to pick out a new name when I get a new device.
