3.from f aircrack i dont see where that hidden thing is.
4.can i know the mac of hidden ap from airodump-ng wlan0?
regards
I'm not sure if it would work this way cos I never had tried it with hidden SSID's but still u can try

$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

It will list all networks with all the details, U can check if it displays the mac address of hidden network, worth a try.

If it says can't scan- network down or something like that, maybe you would like to run " $ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up"

and then run the command " $ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan "
