prefix. For example, all devices with IP addresses that start

SSID: Service Set Identifier (SSID), one of your computer's
wireless adapter network settings, is also referred to as a
Network Name because essentially, it is a name that
identifies a wireless network.
The SSID is a 32-character unique identifier that acts as a
password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS
(Basic Service Set). The SSID differentiates one WLAN from
another, so all access points and all devices attempting to
connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A
device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can
provide the unique SSID. Because an SSID can be sniffed in
plain text from a packet it does not supply any security to the
network.
TCP/IP: The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the
Internet Protocol (IP) are protocols that let different types of
computers communicate with each other. The internet is
based on this suite of protocols.
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), one of your
computer's wireless adapter network settings, is a security
protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined in
the 802.11b standard.
WEP provides security by encrypting data over radio waves
so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point
to another.
