"What can get in Wi-Fi's way?"

Interesting short article about what emits radio waves, what blocks them and how far they reach-regarding WiFi.
For example:

Research from the Farpoint Group suggests that data throughput can fall by 64% within 25ft of a microwave, and Farpoint analyst Craig Mathias said the firm had even “seen problems at 50m”.

TalkTalk said Christmas tree lighting and other household lights can reduce Wi-Fi performance by 25%, and interference is at its worst when the lights are blinking.

I remember C's saying that wearing silk would block some monitoring, was that about radio waves?
I often hear some squeak in my ear(s) and then say in my mind "i know you're checking me right now", then it usually goes away (the quicker the more i'm honest to myself and staying on the right path, especially it does not go away if i'm drunk...), but is this monitoring done through radio waves and could it be blocked by wearing silk?

Hi osher,

I believe the C's recommended wearing silk to block electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, wifi and and maybe other types of signals we're not aware of. They mention it in this session.

I don't think anyone can say for certain. There can be a lot of causes for ringing ears. It can be real easy to fall into a pattern of thinking and then receive some confirmation of this thinking, when it reality it was only your own subjective impressions reflected back to you. I'm not sure if there is any connection between ear ringing and radio waves or EM radiation - there might be, but we need more data to know for sure.

There's some good links on this topic here, if you're interested:

I was just thinking about the silk use.
I remember a session, where there was a talk about Chinese masters, or it was in the wave?
But what I'm trying to assumming is that most of the Chinese masters of martial art or another
Arts weared silk, even oversized all covered clothes, they weared also silk hats, some of them
with big stone, like Jade. Is there any connection about what we know today about silk, or it was just
Clothing design?

with big stone, like Jade.

That made me thinking if Jade , a stone , has some sort of interesting properties , frequency-wise.

That's an interesting observation, particularly given that there was presumably no HAARP technology affecting the planet during the age when those fashions would have been developed.

I'd always assumed that silk was effective primarily against EM due to some reflective quality the threads possessed. It occurs to me as I type this that I don't actually understand anything about silk fibers and how they might or might not interact with the electromagnetic spectrum. Might be worth looking into.

Puzzling.

I've been told many things about different types of crystal and stone and I find the whole field somewhat baffling because some of it makes sense and some of it seems silly. For instance hematite, one of the primary natural sources of iron, carries certain EM properties exactly because it is so high in iron, and as such it makes some sense that it would have an impact on biological systems. What that impact is, I'm not altogether clear on, but I can see the logic. Amethyst is supposed to be a healing stone, but I don't know what that means exactly, nor have I tested it or know anybody who has. Regular quartz crystal is supposed to carry certain properties, and I have played around with some nice examples, trying to see and hear it doing things, but really didn't get anywhere despite my best efforts.

So, for what it's worth, Jade (if you can find the right sort; there are apparently several kinds and most are not right), is supposed to be very powerful indeed. This from the world of ancient Chinese kung-fu lore. It's supposed to act as an energy battery; it will drain your own life energy until it is full and contains a 'copy' of your energy, and if you run into trouble, you will have access to that battery in addition to your own internal energy stores. I recalled this description while reading about Gurdjieff's descriptions of large and small accumulators. If crystals are forms of 1st Density life, then it would stand to some reason that they might have unique and even very powerful energetic qualities which might be the sort of thing which could benefit higher level beings. 4D feeds on us, right?

But honestly, all I have are stories. I walked around for a couple of years with a jade ring on my person, and if truth be told, I felt a bit dragged out the whole time. I don't know if the two things are related. Might just have been a poor diet.

EDIT **** Typo

Thank you for replies and links and for this reminder:

:)
Yes, there may be lots of causes, and it may be my little paranoia, but i allow myself to think that it's mostly monitoring/loading programs as this makes me instantly aware of something i just thought/understood/did may be of bigger significance to personal growth than other activity.

There is a thread in the forum somewhere that definitely talks about silk. It needs to be natural, preferrably mulberry silk and the higher the ommes the better. I remember something about allowing the body to regenerate from the effects of EM frequency, and the fact that we are in bed for a few hours allows for that to happen quite nicely every night. I bought 19 omme silk sheets from a New Zealand company. They are divine to sleep in

What can get in Wi-Fi's way - maybe your neighbor's cat?

How to Use Your Cat to Hack Your Neighbor’s Wi-Fi
_http://www.wired.com/2014/08/how-to-use-your-cat-to-hack-your-neighbors-wi-fi/

Friday August 6, 2014

Late last month, a Siamese cat named Coco went wandering in his suburban Washington, DC neighborhood. He spent three hours exploring nearby backyards. He killed a mouse, whose carcass he thoughtfully brought home to his octogenarian owner, Nancy. And while he was out, Coco mapped dozens of his neighbors’ Wi-Fi networks, identifying four routers that used an old, easily-broken form of encryption and another four that were left entirely unprotected.

Unbeknownst to Coco, he’d been fitted with a collar created by Nancy’s granddaughter’s husband, security researcher Gene Bransfield.
And Bransfield had built into that collar a Spark Core chip loaded with his custom-coded firmware, a Wi-Fi card, a tiny GPS module and a battery—everything necessary to map all the networks in the neighborhood that would be vulnerable to any intruder or Wi-Fi mooch with, at most, some simple crypto-cracking tools.

In the 1980s, hackers used a technique called “wardialing,” cycling through numbers with their modems to find unprotected computers far across the internet. The advent of Wi-Fi brought “wardriving,” putting an antenna in a car and cruising a city to suss out weak and unprotected Wi-Fi networks. This weekend at the DefCon hacker conference in Las Vegas, Bransfield will debut the next logical step: The “WarKitteh” collar, a device he built for less than $100 that turns any outdoor cat into a Wifi-sniffing hacker accomplice.

Despite the title of his DefCon talk—”How To Weaponize Your Pets”–Bransfield admits WarKitteh doesn’t represent a substantial security threat. Rather, it’s the sort of goofy hack designed to entertain the con’s hacker audience. Still, he was surprised by just how many networks tracked by his data-collecting cat used WEP, a form of wireless encryption known for more than ten years to be easily broken. “My intent was not to show people where to get free Wi-Fi. I put some technology on a cat and let it roam around because the idea amused me,” says Bransfield, who works for the security consultancy Tenacity. “But the result of this cat research was that there were a lot more open and WEP-encrypted hot spots out there than there should be in 2014.”

In his DefCon talk, Bransfield plans to explain how anyone can replicate the WarKitteh collar to create their own Wifi-spying cat, a feat that’s only become easier in the past months as the collar’s Spark Core chip has become easier to program. Bransfield came up with the idea of feline-powered Wi-Fi reconnaissance when someone attending one of his security briefings showed him a GPS collar designed to let people locate their pets by sending a text message. “All it needed was a Wi-Fi sniffer,” he says. “I thought the idea was hilarious, and I decided to make it.”

His first experiment involved hiding an HTC Wildfire smartphone in the pocket of a dog jacket worn by his coworker’s tabby, Skitzy. Skitzy quickly managed to worm out of the jacket, however, losing Bransfield’s gear. “It was a disaster,” he says. “That cat still owes me a phone.”

Bransfield spent the next months painstakingly creating the WarKitteh, using Spark’s Arduino-compatible open source hardware and enlisting Nancy to sew it into a strip of cloth. When he finally tested it on Skitzy, however, he was disappointed to find the cat spent the device’s entire battery life sitting on his coworker’s front porch.

Coco turned out to be a better spy. Over three hours, he revealed 23 Wi-Fi hotspots, more than a third of which were open to snoops or used crackable WEP instead of the more modern WPA encryption. Bransfield mapped those networks in a program created by an Internet collaborator that uses Google Earth’s API, shown in a video below. The number of vulnerable access points surprised Bransfield; He says that several of the WEP connections were Verizon FiOS routers left with their default settings unchanged.

Though he admits his cat stunt was mostly intended to entertain himself, he hopes it might make more users aware of privacy lessons those in the security community have long taken for granted. “If people realize that a cat can pick up on their open Wi-Fi hotspot, maybe that’s a good thing.”
