True. Bet you have a lock on every door to your house as well. Turning off the SSID is a deterent. Make them go somewhere else. Same with door locks. If I want to get into your house, I will. Even if it means using TNT.
James, why are you attempting to justify this pointless, unsecure, method of wireless configuration?
SSID hiding is *not* secure. It is *not* a deterrent. Security through obscurity is *not* security.
Same thing here. It will take more 'work'. Make them go away.
Obtaining a MAC takes seconds - i.e. no more 'work' than it is to find your 'hidden' SSID.
These snake oil methods of wireless security need to simply die.
