: The network has ad hoc devices. These are
devices that communicate directly with other devices,
not through an access point that is part of the network.
Ad hoc devices can give hackers access to data
transmitted on the network. (Some IT policies for
networks allow ad hoc devices.)
[Hidden]: The network does not broadcast its SSID.
If an SSID shows in square brackets, the tester found the
