   Hi Carlos, and others who are interested in the progress we've had.   
      
   In order to start snowballing using Apple's highly insecure WPS database,   
   to prove the point of how dangerous it is to people like Chris who can't   
   fathom that Apple would build something this easily compromised...   
      
   Here is code that generates random (or sequential) BSSIDs to place into a   
   file which can later be checked against Apple's highly insecure WPS DB.   
      
    C:\> bssidgenerate.bat   
      
    Select an OUI from the menu or press Enter to type your own:   
     1) TP-Link        F4:F2:6D   
     2) Netgear        44:94:FC   
     3) Arris          60:31:97   
     4) Ubiquiti       24:A4:3C   
     5) Technicolor    10:13:31   
     6) Cisco/Linksys  00:25:9C   
     7) ASUS           AC:9E:17   
     8) Google/Nest    F4:F5:D8   
     9) Amazon/Eero    74:83:C2   
    10) Hitron         C8:3A:35   
      
    Enter menu number (1¡V10) or press Enter to type your own: 3   
    How many BSSIDs do you want to generate?: 100   
    Random or Sequential? (R/S): r
