Andrew,When an AP's broadcasting features are disabled, Kismet sees the access point, and marks it as <no ssid>. After a new client associates with that access point, in the RESP packet, the ssid is transmitted, and Kismet will fill in the ssid. I don't believe any other tools handle the process any differently.
Thank You, Christopher Blume Andrew Bagrin wrote:
I'm doing a wireless pen-test and am able to use aircrack to crack the wep key, however, when I use Kismet, Cain, airdump etc.. I can't get the SSID of a the access point if the SSID broadcast has been disabled. Does anyone know how to do this, or is there any tools that will let you get the SSID even if its not being broadcasted. Thanks, Andrew
