Debunking Myths: Is Hiding Your Wireless SSID Really More Secure? Seems like every guide to securing your wireless network tells you to keep your SSID from broadcasting to make your network more secure, but is that really worthwhile?

Debunking Myths: Is Hiding Your Wireless SSID Really More Secure?

Let’s take a look at one of the silliest myths out there. This myth has been around for a very long time, and we aren’t expecting everybody to receive this news with happy agreement. You’re welcome to state your case in the comments for why hidden wireless networks are a great idea, but we think if you keep reading, you’ll realize that it’s just not a security feature. If you’ve been a fan of How-To Geek for a long time, you might think you’re seeing this again. This article was originally written years ago, but we’ve updated it and are republishing for our newer readers. Wireless SSIDs Were Never Designed to Be Hidden Image by Chaotic Good01 In this particular case, the 802.11 wireless spec requires access points to broadcast their SSID, or at least it originally did according to Microsoft’s Steve Riley:

Printer steganography

Printer steganography is a type of steganography – "hiding data within data"[1] – produced by color printers, including Brother, Canon, Dell, Epson, HP, IBM, Konica Minolta, Kyocera, Lanier, Lexmark, Ricoh, Toshiba and Xerox brand color laser printers,[2] where tiny yellow dots are added to each page. The dots are barely visible and contain encoded printer serial numbers and timestamps. Unlike many forms of steganography, the hidden information is not intended to be available from a computer file, but to allow serial number and time of printing to be determined by close examination of a printout.

Color laser printers appear to be the type mostly involved, the measure being brought in during the 1990s by Xerox and other companies seeking to reassure governments that their printers wouldn't be used for forgery.
