SSID
- SSID or ESSID is a character string ....
MAC address filters
- Access points can be programmed to accept authentication requests only from legitimate MAC addreses.
Weaknesses in Basic Level Security
1. SSIDs are broadcast in plaintext
2. Even if this broadcast feature is turned off, passive sniffers like KISMET can decloak SSIDs.
3. MAC addresses can be spoofed
