SSID's can still be discovered even when SSID broadcasting is disabled,
since the SSID is transmitted in each frame. Instead of resorting to
jamming the signal, why not construct a directional antenna from a
Pringles can and find out where the signal is coming from?

I believe I have an unauthorized wireless router on my network.  I have
been unable to physically find it as of yet.

Does anyone know how to find the hidden SSID and then Jam it?

Thank you.
