This is a clear sign that you are not looking at "real" physical Wi-Fi networks. You are almost certainly inside a simulation, a virtual machine, or a software-defined network (SDN) lab.
Here is the breakdown of why your output looks like this: [...]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:heyalnsb3cmtrqk3lks2yxfz/bafkreidqzq5yrvvn3cifzjbsoqt7yywbpbveh7htwa4fadnriasovh4pmy)
![Excerpt from the linked post:
My first big open source project was urllib3. Today it’s used by almost every Python user and receives almost a billion downloads each month, but it started in 2007 out of necessity.
I was working at TinEye (formerly known as Idée Inc.) as my first “real” job out of university, and we needed to upload billions of images to Amazon S3. I wrote a script to get processing and estimated how long it would take to finish… two months! Turns out in 2007, HTTP libraries weren’t reusing sockets or connection pooling, weren’t thread-safe, didn’t fully support multipart encoding, didn’t know about resuming or retries or redirecting, and much more that we take for granted today.
It took me about a week to write the first version of what ultimately became urllib3, along with workerpool for managing concurrent jobs in Python, and roughly one more week to do the entire S3 upload using these new tools. A month and a half ahead of schedule, and we became one of Amazon’s biggest S3 customers at the time.
I was pleased with my work. I was just months into my role at TinEye and I already had a material impact. Reflecting on this time almost two decades later, I realized that doing a good job at work was not what created the real impact.
