In addition to the fact that *both* the SSID & passphrase need to be unique
(to protect against such attacks), it's likely better to "hide" the SSID.

We've covered this in detail, but hiding the SSID gives a little bit more
'privacy' (not security!) from well-behaved yet ubiquitous WPS databases.

The only non-well-behaved ubiquitous WPS database that I know of which
doesn't respect your privacy is, surprise... Apple's insecure WPS database.

Most people don't know any of this, IMHO, because, AFAICT, they succumb to
marketing propaganda - but on this newsgroup we should know how it works.
