Spying on the Seven Seas with AIS
http://j.mp/ZZFUCv (Rapid 7)
"In a short period of 12 hours we were able to collect almost 2 GB of
data logged by dozens of receivers worldwide. We counted millions of
AIS messages and out of those, we were able to track more than 34,000
unique vessels and observed many more that were not providing an
identifier. We expect that with a fresh global scan and an extended
monitoring, this number would grow drastically."
