January 12, 201214 yr http://lifehacker.com/5873407/how-to-crack-a-wi+fi-networks-wpa-password-with-reaver WPS is that feature that lets you connect with a button on your router. None of my routers have it, but many new ones do.
January 14, 201214 yr Author Thanks, easy to do on Netgear WNDR4000 Watch out, it might say it's disabled, but it might not be! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0Ags-JmeLMFP2dFp2dkhJZGIxTTFkdFpEUDNSSHZEN3c
January 14, 201214 yr Would not broadcasting your SSID help to prevent an attack using Reaver or are there similar tools available to exploit "hidden" networks?

January 14, 201214 yr Author Would not broadcasting your SSID help to prevent an attack using Reaver or are there similar tools available to exploit "hidden" networks? Ha! No. I believe you use the same process whether the router is using WEP or WPA:
January 15, 201214 yr Not broadcasting the SSID will only stop amateurs. MAC address filtering will only stop amateurs as well.
January 23, 201214 yr People out there still using WEP routers... and that hack so very widely know now. I guess this consigns another batch of routers to the dustbin
