- Hiding the SSID. Many administrators hid Services Set Id (SSID) wireless network with the intent that they only know the SSID can be connected to their network. This is not true, because the SSID is not hidden completely. At certain moments or especially when the client will connect (associate) or when it will decide itself (deauthentication) of a wireless network, the client will still send the SSID in plain text (though using encryption), so if we inted to tap, can easily find information. Sone of the tools that can be used to obtain the SSID dihidden among others, kismet (kisMAC), ssid_jack (airjack), aircrack, void 11 and much more.
