Getting Phished: Why SSID Spoofing (Still) Matters
Phony access points (APs) that use spoofed service set identifiers (SSIDs) to lure wireless users are nothing new.
Implementing Multiple SSIDs
some companies, such as Cisco and Symbol, are offering enterprise-class access points that support multiple SSIDs. Some examples of products that support multiple SSIDs are the Cisco 1100 Series access point, which can support up to 16 separate SSIDs, and the Symbol Mobius Axon Wireless Switch, which can support up to 32 separate SSIDs.
