• Apple allows applications to track user locations without authorization

  SSID / BSSID is often enough to pinpoint the location of someone. Recently someone debated this with me, so I asked him what his wifi AP name was, then proceeded to provide their home address. How? By searching it in https://wigle.net. That ended the debate quite swiftly. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Apple allows applications to track user locations without authorization

  IP gives you a rough location (like which city at best), SSID/BSSID can give you street/building level accuracy if it's in a database like https://wigle.net Considering the scale of these apps, I'm guessing they have internal wifi<->location databases with fairly great accuracy. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• DDos Wifi?

  There are also wardriving databases (like wigle.net) that have information about Wi-Fi networks detected by wardrivers all around the globe which may includes yours. Source: 6 months ago

• I am new to cybersecurity and was trying to access my wifi through wifite to really see if wifite can be used to access wifi without password and this is what i got, can someone tell me what did i do wrong

  You can use a site like https://wigle.net/ and type in wifi SSIDs and use it to potentially locate your whereabouts. Source: 11 months ago

• suspicious individual walking around building

  This sounds like manual wardriving and a lot of unnecessary work. Check out Wigle and you might be able to find the answers you're looking for or you can download their app and contribute. Source: 12 months ago

• Show HN: Text Lambda, a versatile notebook for your personal data

  This certainly could be useful for me personally, but it would need more functionality. I think the _full_ project could be very useful though. However I would ask, how is this different from e.g. https://standardnotes.com/ and other note systems available ? - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Evernote will restrict free users to 50 notes starting December 4

  I've been using Standard Notes'[0] free tier for a while now without issues. Far superior to Evernote. And apparently EN uses your data for machine learning so they can monetize their free users. Standard operating procedure. [0] https://standardnotes.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

  - How do I get my data OUT of this thing, if I decide it isn’t right for me? C) If you’re going to go down the “unlike other note-taking platforms” route, it might be valuable to explicitly help people make the comparison in terms of features/approaches/architecture/trade-offs etc. How should one compare this against [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md)? [Simplenote](https://simplenote.com)?... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
