Why is SSID hiding considered to be a security myth?
What will be an ideal response?
The usual advice is to have the administrator disable the WAP's SSID beaconing ability. The thinking is that, then, attackers are unable to discover the wireless network and, therefore, won't attack it. Unfortunately, tools like Kismet or NetStumbler make it incredibly easy to scan the local area in order to find wireless networks, regardless of whether or not they actively advertise their SSIDs via beaconing.
