OT: Printer SPAM?

And now the thought experiment goes to extremes, by using embedded Linux to invade all the 
unsecured wireless networks by using a technique popularized in creating massive DoS attacks: using 
unwitting innocent people to expand the volume of the attacks.

I'm talking about creating black box systems with a powerful adhesive on one side (powering it 
might be a problem) and then slapping boxes on random cars in downtown KC parking garages.  Make 
them flat enough and you can hide them in SUV roof racks and power them with solar panels.

Months later they will be found, but until then they sit on the tops of cars broadcasting their 
Samba requests for printers, and printing SPAM on any unsecured wireless-accessible printer in 
range.  All you have to do to reprogram them is drive through the same parking garage with a laptop 
and a wireless card, and new SPAM prints out the following week.

Moohahahahahaha...
