@Saturn - I understand what you were getting at with avoiding mentioning my name in the hopes of preventing me from getting spammed - that makes sense and I appreciate that.

Anyway, thank you for clarifiying what you meant. I'll look into that as well the moment I get the chance, although I don't think I have any saved airodump-ng packet dumps from an area where there was a network with a hidden ssid - so it might take me a bit to check whether or not hidden ssid length is being saved...
