A hidden or complex SSIS does nothing to enhance your security.

No, actually it does. The authentication token that the secure wifi protocol uses depends on both the SSID and password. Hackers have precomputed tables with tokens for common SSID/password combinations. If you have an obscure SSID, sure, they can see it, but it's not on their precomuputed table and they would have to (possibly write code) to try it against (a big number) of possible passwords.

Google "wifi rainbow table" for more info.

Thanks. What prevents somebody from testing millions of passwords against a known SSID? Rainbow Tables seems to attack common SSIDs with common passwords. WPA/WPA2 seem most vulnerable.
