David,

Thanks for the thorough follow up. Your quotes from the NetStumbler code writer are great details, and I do understand why all details cannot be included in any study guide, or it would be 1000 pages long! (I saw today that NetStumbler is planning a code update to support Windows 7)

Agreed, that NetStumbler is not the best tool for WLAN hidden SSID discovery--it sets off our WIPS if used in our company.

We do hide our SSIDs. But we use a laptop vendor proprietary client and also use IntelPrOSet client, both having configured profiles. So at login, selecting a profile is easy and SSID is the same at all our work sites. Also, we have no legacy equipment; everything is in year three of our life cycle.

Thanks again for very good detailed info for clarification.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
