Google Describes Wi-Fi Sniffing In Pending Patent
,----[ Quote ]
| "After mistakenly saying that it did not
| collect Wi-Fi payload data, Google had to
| reverse itself, saying 'it's now clear that we
| have been mistakenly collecting samples of
| payload data from open (i.e. non-password-
| protected) WiFi networks.' OK, mistakes
| happen. But, as Seinfeld might ask, then
| what's the deal with the pending Google patent
| that describes capturing wireless data packets
| by operating a device â which 'may be placed
| in a vehicle' â in a 'sniffer' or 'monitor'
| mode and analyzing them on a server? Guess
| belated kudos are owed to the savvy Slashdot
| commenter who speculated back in January that
| the patent-pending technology might be useful
| inside a Google Street View vehicle. Google
| faces inquiries into its Wi-Fi packet sniffing
| practices by German and US authorities."
