Software to find hidden SSID / WIFI Networks

[bsmr]

Hi,

just struggling around with my mac to find a good piece of software /command line tool to find "hidden SSID/WIFI" Networks.

Something like inSSIDer - but not that expensive. ;-)

any recommendations?

Cheers
Buddy

NetSpot Pro does NOT support hidden WiFi's unless you can already connect to it.

In the case of all these products that access the built-in WiFi using CoreWLAN APIs you cannot tell much about hidden SSIDs. Often it requires a USB WiFi device specifically chosen for its ability to be used for WiFi scanning abilities. Both inSSIDer and Netspot Pro have more functionality on Windows in this regard.

Thanks for the insight, I was sure the Pro version on Mac can see hidden SSID
Yes, the Proversion is not free and cost $150

NetSpot Pro sees all hidden SSIDs since 10.13, not just those you are already connected to
You always can request for a trial here:
