How do you mean? Even cloaking the SSID and turning off beaconing won't make it hidden from a passive sniffer, and if a client associates the passive sniffer can still see the SSID in the probe req and response. You're not going to be able to hide that and still be within (my understanding of) the 802.11 spec. Obscurity != security. Too many companies blindly trust that no beaconing or hiding their SSID means they're automatically safe. -m -- Censorship, like charity, should begin at home, but unlike charity, it should end there. -- Clare Boothe Luce -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
