I know that hidden SSIDs are easily found with third party network scanning tools. So, they add little security, but do they do anything to decrease security?
Some have said that, if a device is configured to connect to a network with a hidden SSID, it constantly broadcasts that it’s looking for that network and that can be used to aid attackers. However, doesn’t that happen anyway for any wireless network the device is configured to connect to whether hidden or not?
