been unable to physically find it as of yet. Does anyone know how to find the hidden SSID and then Jam it?
Hard to find the SSID until a device connects to it. Then something like a laptop running Kismet or NetStumbler will reveal what the SSID is. If you want to get fancy, an AirMagnet is a really neat tool and you can find the rogue by following the signal strength. As for jamming, it's a bit more difficult to do. If you have an Aruba or Airtight network, they would not only pick up the rogue and degrade it to the point of uselessness, they can also give you a rough indication of where the rogue is placed.
