#HOPE_16 NOC report was awesome. The number that blew my mind: 32% of HTTP traffic on the wifi network was unencrypted. How can that even happen?!?

@evan Wow! I am very surprised. Almost nothing I connect to is plain HTTP anymore.

@danyork yeah, I assumed it was API traffic of some kind.

@evan speaking from chaos events i guess: a lot of µCs that run games, art installations, pixelwalls, Internet of things and that kind of stuff.
These appliances mostly dont have certificates for https.

@evan

Wonder what that means tho. HTTP isn’t very common anymore, as I have been told. HTTP should be a small fraction of the total, with HTTPS being the largest chunk, right?

Talking about wifi is also interesting. If we are talking about Guest Wifi without a password, that might be correct, but we’re still running HTTPS over the air locally. Right?
