Hi,
Is there any way of detecting wireless access point that doesn't broadcast the SSID?
Yep, It's possible. I will tell you why: We have two probing modes for channels in a 802.11 network. - Activing probe - Is when the prober machine exchange some probe frames with the AP. - RFMON - Radio Frequency Monitor (Passive probe) - when the probe machine capture all data in the channel and try to find some SSID (Service Set Identification) You can find AP that does not broadcast the SSID using any probe technique. You can use: Netstumbler, DStumbler, Kismet, Wellenreiter, THC-RUT, WEPCrack, AirSnort, .... That's All Folks! -- ## # Luiz Otávio Duarte (lod at acmesecurity dot org) # www.acmesecurity.org/~lod ## # ACME!
