>specific MAC addresses and make the access point invisible.
Both of these measures do nothing if any other device is currently connected to the wireless network. A passive attacker will still be able to see your access point (by inspecting packets sent over the air by other devices to the access point) and can spoof a MAC address to connect to it.
- icebraining 12y agoNot if you're not at home and hence there are no "other devices" sending packets.
- meowface 12y agoThis seems like a rather silly edge case though. What if you accidentally leave a phone or tablet at home and it's sending packets intermittently? Or what if someone decides to hack you when you are at home? These are not real security measures.
