Are you trying to work with a hidden AP, or do something else? An SSID is simply a 32-byte array; the protocol and the stack don't care what's in that array. So while you can't use command-line tools like 'iwconfig' to send an SSID containing a \0, you can use netlink or wpa_supplicant's nl80211 driver to do so. But in the end, if you're trying to associate with an AP that has an SSID of only '\0', that AP is likely broken or trying to hide it's SSID, and you should be using the real SSID of that AP instead of '\0'.
