If you want to accelerate the process, switch to the channel that the
ap is on. Now, as long as you have decent signal strength, you just
have to wait for a client to send it. Pretty much the only reason I
can figure for the client to send it would be when the client is
logging on, so in some situations, it may be minutes, hours, or even
days/weeks/months (yes, I'm stretching it a little bit) before the
SSID shows up.
My question to Mich was "can this be sped up by kicking the client off
of their Access Point, forcing them to reconnect". He responded with,
"all of this is correct and implemented for a year or so. but you
cannot send a disassociate but a deauthenticate.". So basically, if
you de-authenticate someone, you will get their SSID in just a moment.
Theoretically.
I haven't tried it out yet. I am anticipating a wardrive. And now,
this conversation has come full circle. ;-)
