outSSIDer automatically attempts to connect to any open access point that comes within range as you walk down the streets hunting for WiFi.
Whenever it makes an attempt, it notifies you with a specific sound so that you should stand still and wait. That way you don't need to watch the screen while walking - you can even close the laptop lid to save battery!
The connection is then verified against payment hotspots and restricted networks by trying to fetch the Google website icon.
If it fails connecting or verifying, it alerts you with the sound again and resumes scanning.
