I have an early Cabletron AP thatI think is optimally configured for
security. All clients are requiredto know the SSID, the WEP encryption
key and have the right MAC adress. Recent article still claim that all
of these precautions can still besidesteped. I tested my AP with
Netstumbler and found that if I did not specify my SSID in the profile
my client cards would not become activet therefore Netstumbler would not
indicate its presence. Is would this be true of all RF devices? Is
there a radio wave device that coould still detect my AP brodcast and
decode my SSID. If not then does't configuring AP to require the SSID
allow it torun in stealth mode?
