WEP
stands for Wireless encryption protocol. It's a customary

the traffic over a wireless network.
2.Change the SSID, disable the broadcast of SSID:
SSID
stands for service set identifier. It is the recognition thread
utilized by the wireless access point due to which the customers are
capable of starting connections. For every wireless access point
arranged, select an exclusive as well as unique SSID. Also, if it's
attainable, hold back the broadcast of the SSID out over the antenna.

subnet mask as well as the IP address in order to hack your wireless
