An anonymous reader writes "We are a group of three researches, and in the last few weeks, we have been working on Wi-Fi monitor mode for Android devices, based on Broadcom BCM4329 and BCM4330 chipsets. Currently we have a successful PoC for Nexus One and Samsung Galaxy S 2. We've released all the info in our new blog."

    That is good advice. After you determine what you will use as a long cryptic password, you should set the SSID to be the same as the password to eliminate the possibility of forgetting the password. Also when guests are over, it is easy to tell them that the password is the SSID that their phone/laptop/tablet just scanned. Since the scanned SSID still has a lock icon next to it in the list of nearby WiFi routers, it is secure.
