If that is the case the manual way of typing in an address to find more networks, is there any software out there to actually find ALL of them, even the "hidden" ones? |
Typically, the ones you're finding are the ones that are broadcasting their SSID. There are plenty more that you don't see by default since they do not broadcast the SSID - As well as those that are encrypted in tunnels. As for tools out there that looks for them.. I'm sure there are some... but you my get a whole bunch of traffic to sort out.
