Esp8266_deauther: ESP8266 with hidden SSID

[anudeepND]

Is it still possible to deauthenticate with hidden SSID. The NodeMCU doesn't broadcast it's SSID.
Here's the code:
void softAP(const char* ssid, const char* passphrase, int channel = 1, int ssid_hidden = 0);

I don't have a esp8266 right now, can anyone please confirm that it works or not?

@anudeepND Ya it's possible and working this feature is recently implemented to testing branch to esp8266_deauther. i hope you find your ansr so close this issue.

[anudeepND]

I haven't been able to try it out.
It is about hiding our SSID, not be confused with deauthenticating hidden SSID of victim...

Consider like this, I have a Nodemcu with WiFi name as 'deauther', so when I turn my phone's WiFi on, I can see 'deauther' or anyone with WiFi can see the name.
It is like not broadcasting the name 'deauther'
