Any decent wireless sniffer can find “hidden” SSIDs. Just download NetStumbler.

Oh dear, no hiding the SSID is NOT very secure at all, particularly if there are any windows machines which connect to the router. For those interested, here is a link to a Microsoft technet article which describes why hiding an SSID is a bad idea.

Just FYI: Security of wifi networks is compromised by people using sniffers that passively listen to all wifi traffic regardless of whether you have enabled beaconing on your access point. A sniffer is like a scanner that listens to all channels at once, then records all the packets for cracking later when enough “interesting” data has been amassed.

Well I lock my network with MAC address only. But then I do not broadcast my SSID, which in a way hide my SSID, so no 1 would see my router on the computer even if they are in the next room. I think it is secure enough thou.
