heh. GM failed to update their cars, and now onstar won’t work for 100Ks of people. same with home alarm systems.
nsscache
We’re releasing a small python utility, called nsscache, that is used to cache remote NSS maps locally on a given host. Combined with cron, it provides a simple and effective way to remove a critical network dependency from your hosts and potentially speed things up a bit.
a small but crucial piece of our network infrastructure
Is Zipcar revolutionary?
The founder of zipcar on how mesh networking leads to radically transparent transportation economics, which is what makes people turn on a dime. We need this now.
If we’re going to spend out oodles of money for wireless infrastructure for our transportation systems for congestion pricing and for road pricing, we should be making those open networks using open standards, i.e., things that consumers and businesspeople have devices that hook up to. We’d actually do an open source communications platform. And we can transform this required investment in transportation wireless infrastructure into something that’s an economic development boon and that makes information ubiquitous and very, very low cost, while we’re making CO2 — the old economy — high cost.

ssldump
Identifies TCP connections on the chosen network interface and attempts to interpret them as SSLv3/TLS traffic. When it identifies SSLv3/TLS traffic, it decodes the records and displays them in a textual form to stdout.
We-Fi
Our goal is to make open Wifi act more like a wireless infrastructure that can compete with 3G networks, except freely created and shared by the users. We want to be able to get on fast, free Wifi wherever we go, so we’re building the tools to make that possible. Today we are releasing the first version of our client that replaces the wireless connection manager in Windows. It tests all the networks around you and automatically connects you to the best one. Metrics about all the access points users see are reported to our server, and we show them on a map, so you can see where there is open Wifi coverage – updated constantly, in real time, by the WeFi users.
any headway into the fearmongering surrounding open wifi is good. Tests all the networks around you and automatically connects you to the best one. Metrics about all the access points users see are reported to our server, and we show them on a map.
Low End Theory of Networks

WiFi slurper
The Slurpr is a giant, homemade WiFi access-point that uses several WiFi cards to grab all the open networks it can see and combines them into a single Internet feed for your network.
