   Note the SSID cannot be obtained, as far as I'm aware, without an ACTIVE   
   spoofing of a client request, which passive scanners likely don't do.   
       
      
   The reason this is extremely important is I can't find any documentation   
   (yet) that proves Google/Apple don't *upload* the SSID/BSSID/GPS/dBm/etc.   
   of your "hidden broadcast" access point, but if they do, they likely don't   
   have the SSID.   
      
   Does anyone know if Google/Apple WPS databases have BSSID entries sans an   
   associated SSID?   
      
   The reason it matters is almost every router in the world has the feature   
   of hiding the broadcast, and we all know that the hidden broadcast packet,   
   if no client is currently connected, won't have the SSID associated with   
   it, so the question is what does Google/Apple do about hidden broadcasts?
