Agreed, the video is quite goofy...but have you tried it Razor? Before you go assuming this is a parody, using cell phones wrapped in ethernet cable and other things are actually quite workable.

I haven't tried this method...but it probably does work.

Since the RJ-45 ethernet port on a computer does not act as an antenna for the Wi-Fi circuitry it would never work. For this to be remotely plausible some wiring would have to be connected to the Wi-Fi antenna.

Additionally, cell phones do not use protocols used by Ethernet or Wi-Fi. The cell phone would never show up with it's name in the networking control panel applets. A user, however, may be tricked into believing this if their phone's Bluetooth is enabled, as that usually displays their cell phone model's name.

A watched a few more of this guy's videos, and they are all just geek jokes. It's along the lines of the BOFH style of comedy, taking advantage of social engineering =P

It was the singer's voice that had me convinced. I guessed Five Iron Frenzy was obscure enough no one else would recognize it. Thanks for the info =)

They seem to be trying quite hard to be camoflauged. I'm no expert, but wouldn't the camera crew constantly standing 2ft away from them give them away somewhat?

Don't you know they're the decoys?
