Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SSID hiding is a weak security measure where the Wi-Fi network's name (SSID) is hidden from the list of available Wi-Fi networks. When using SSID hiding, users must manually enter the SSID to connect to the network. However, this approach provides little to no actual security and can be easily bypassed by attackers. WEP encryption (A) is also a weak security measure that can be easily cracked. Open System Authentication (B) and shared key authentication (D) are different authentication methods and do not require manual entry of the SSID.
