Re: Wireless SSID discovery

[Aaron Drew <amd () internode on net>]

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned void11. 

This tool works with prism2 cards and injects a spoofed deauthentication 
message from the AP to the client. This forces the client to reconnect. If 
you have 2 cards or 2 laptops, you can deauthenticate with one and listen for 
the SSID with kismet on another.
