wigle.net VS Whitepages Pro

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 / 4 months ago

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 / 4 months ago

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: 5 months ago

You can use a site like https://wigle.net/ and type in wifi SSIDs and use it to potentially locate your whereabouts. Source: 10 months ago

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: 11 months ago

What I'm getting at is if they know your home location, information for social engineering attacks could be gained by connecting bread crumbs from easily found public records of who owns and lives in houses near your location. Think whitepages.com type of services. They could reverse lookup your address if they know your location. Source: 5 months ago

Try whitepages.com? They will sometimes list past addresses and landline numbers for public databases. Source: 10 months ago

All you need is a person's name, general age, and/or general location to do a lookup on whitepages.com or similar websites. Pay a little money, and you could potentially get all kinds of info. I just did my real name on there, and even at the free tier it correctly pulled several of my relatives, my rough age, and cities I lived in before I joined the Air Force. Source: 11 months ago

How do you mean? Remember, GT didn't even exist until Hoover Man dropped him off in Omaha. His name may show up on whitepages.com or something based on utility bills or car registration (depending on how all that worked back then) but it's not like Gene was out there updating his LinkedIn profile or writing a blog, right?
