Yes, they will. However, not broadcasting the SSID is a good step, but not necessarily all you should do. When a client connects to the network, it inquiries if the network is available. A patient wardriver will pick this up. However, they will not be able to get easily and will move on in most cases if they see WPA2. > > *Some android devices, don't like hidden wireless* True. The next step is MAC restricting and a lot more. However, just employing security and hidden SSID is a great start. Most people do not do this.
