Discover a hidden ssid
hi,
i've searched in the tutorial section and i was wondering, there are no topics about Discover a hidden ssid.
im thinking, if it is generally possible, and when, how does it work?
thanks a lot for answers.

thats the point, i ran kismet for a cuple of hours and airodump too. but they didn't discovered the ssid.
is there another solution?
is it only possible whan a client is connected?

this is the correct function
Yes.
The currect function of an 802.11 device configured to 'cloak' the ssid is that it should not transmit the ssid in its beacon.
This makes it a little more difficult to trace and connect.
When a new client initiates a contact to a known ssid cloaked or not, then the handshaking will disclose the ssid information in the frame. That is how scripts harvest such data.
You will not receive 'see' an ssid on your monitoring system until an external station connects. Note also that unless one has a special driver and card combination a station device in monitor mode cannot also transmit.

Do you just have to run airodump and once someone connects it will show the SSID?
