I'm surprised no-one has mentioned void11. 

This tool works with prism2 cards and injects a spoofed deauthentication 
message from the AP to the client. This forces the client to reconnect. If 
you have 2 cards or 2 laptops, you can deauthenticate with one and listen for 
the SSID with kismet on another.

Kismet doesn't need it to be broadcast to get the SSID, it looks at the
packets. As you sure you have the correct key?

I'm doing a wireless pen-test and am able to use aircrack  to
crack the wep key, however, when I use Kismet, Cain, airdump
etc.. I can't get the SSID of a the access point if the SSID
broadcast has been disabled.  Does anyone know how to do
this, or is there any tools that will let you get the SSID
even if its not being broadcasted.

Thanks,

Andrew
