Which of the following is true of the wireless Service Set ID (SSID)? (Select all that apply.)
A.
Identifies the wireless network
B.
Acts as a password for network access
C.
Should be left at the factory default setting
D.
Not broadcasting the SSID defeats NetStumbler and other wireless discovery tools
and D?
“Q2. Why doesn’t NetStumbler see the access point right next to my machine?
A2A. The access point is configured not to respond to broadcast probes. Most manufacturers call this “disable broadcast SSID” or “closed”. NetStumbler cannot see these networks unless you know the SSID and have your machine configured to connect to it.
A2B. Your wireless card is configured to connect to a specific SSID. Try setting it to connect to a blank SSID or to “ANY” (without quotes). ”

B? Do they mean if it is left open? i.e. not even WEP enabled?
The SSID does NOT act as a password for network access.
This is a multiple choice question. My money is on A and D. Unless you want to get laughed at, you do not call an SSID a password. Shame on you aiotestking…
