An administrator disables broadcast of the wireless network name as a security measure. Why is this ineffective?

  1. Client probe requests reveal the name to any listening device
  2. The name is transmitted in every data frame
  3. Access points ignore the setting
  4. Hiding the name disables encryption
Show the answer

Answer: A. Client probe requests reveal the name to any listening device
