How to connect to a wireless AP which has no SSID? - wifi

Today while scaning APs from a PCI adapter I saw an AP which had no name(SSID), and when I tried to connect to this AP the option of connect button is disabled and I was unable to connect to the AP. If you know how to connect to such AP, then kindly tell me please. SEE IMAGE

The AP is in a stealth mode, meaning it doesn't broadcast the SSID (i.e., the network "name"). In order to connect to such network you need to know the SSID in advance and configure it in properties. This is a simple security feature used to prevent unauthorized connection.

how to establish internet connection to "ttgo t call esp32 sim800L" using Lua

I used the "Nodemcu Module v3" and it supports wifi based internet connection only.
I always start with a wifi initiation steps (By Lua Scripting) to connect my "Nodemcu" board with internet and After making the wifi connection I am sure that my device has access to internet (Though my Wifi router has internet connection) and I can do any internet based communication.
But how can I teach my "ttgo t call esp32 sim800L" board to use the Sim card data?
Is there any steps for that or it connects to internet automatically on insertion of sim card?
Please Guide me to start work on it.
Thank You

Contrl room not accessible after connecting to vpn

I have installed control room and client successfully and also able to work on it. But, whenever I connect VPN, the control room disconnects automatically with the message "The requested address could not be resolved".
It seems that the control room binds with the system IP, and when connected over VPN system IP changes. As per my understanding, this could be the reason for the disconnection of Control Room over VPN.
Do you have any idea how to resolve this?
Please let me know if you have a solution for this or let me know where can I get help with this issue
yes, this is correct. and this is not an error.
Once the machine is connected to the VPN, then it is effectively on the remote network... so all local resources (including the control room) will not be reachable. most likely you are connecting to the control room using its FQDN.
so you can do one of these things:
while connecting the AA client to the control room, use its IP address instead of hostname
use split DNS on ur VPN or split tunneling

How to configure BLE Wifi Sniffer and Node Red on Synology

I've bought a Wireless IBeacon Receiver BLE 4.0 WI-FI Sniffer here installed Node Red on my Synology DS414j. I've been able to configure the sniffer to use my local WLAN and I can access the webpages on the sniffer. So far so good.
Now I'm trying to connect MQTT node from Node Red to the device. Maybe I'm not understanding thing correctly but I would have expected this to work.
There is a Wiki here but that does not contain a lot of information. I tried signing on the forum but the confirmation mails never arrives.
Configuration of the sniffer:
I've added my SSID, security token for my WLAN. That works.
Device mode is configured to 'Station'
MQTT is configured to the IP of the NAS port 1883. With credentials. Topic is set to '/beacons'.
Node Red node is configured to IP of device port 1883, with credentials.
Questions:
Does it work the way I think this should work. Is it possible to have the MQTT Node Red node to connect to the device or do I need something else?
The sniffer can be put into 3 modes. Station, P2P and Access Point. I've now configured it at Station. Does anyone know what this setting means?
Node Red says 'connecting' but never connects. I've also installed a MQTT Dashboard on my Samsung Phone. It says 'connection failed'. What am I doing wrong? Do I need SSL/TLS? to be activated?
By the sound of things you have not installed a MQTT broker.
MQTT is not Point to Point you need a broker that the clients all connect to.
Node-RED does NOT contain a MQTT broker (there is node to add one, but it's not really the best approach), it is just another MQTT client.

Why I can not read http request with wireshark?

I try to see the network trafic of my mobile device in my home wlan network.when I opened wireshark, listening on the WLAN Adapter and entered http.request.method == "GET"` to the wireshark filter.
All I can see is the requests from my laptop and not of my mobile device.
If I enter ip.addre == 10.0.0.30 i can see the protocolls BJNP, ICMP, IGMPv2 and so on.
What is the reason for this behavior?
In my opinion, if I can see a TCP IP Protocol, it should be also possible to see a HTTP request.
There are two things that need to happen in order for you to be able to sniff TCP traffic from another device.
Your device needs to receive the traffic you want to analyze, and
Your device must be configured in "promiscuous mode".
If promiscuous mode is disabled (which is the default), packets not intended for your laptop will never make it to Wireshark. They will instead be filtered out by your network adapter.
There are cases where this is not enough, for example, if you connect to a network with a layer 2 switch.
The first thing you need to ensure is that your network adapter is set to monitor or promiscuous mode, otherwise you just won't be able to see packets not meant for your NIC. Also, set your computer as an access point, and connect your phone to said access point.
If you're going to sniff HTTPS traffic don't forget to add your own certificate to the phone.

Force iOS device app to talk through the local WIFI network

I'm building an application that will run in a museum with a local area wifi network without internet access, for some strange reason I'm not able to fully "join" this network with an iOS device. Enabling internet access on this network solves the problem...
The network should provide only a web server and a DNS server, the access point has a DHCP server, android devices can connect to the network without problems.
When I try to join the network with the device it remains in a "spinning wheel" status, the DHCP server log on the debian server says it has assigned an address to the iOS device, and if I check for the wifi address with an application (like iSys o SBSettings) I see the WIFI DHCP assigned address.
But when my app (or safari) tries to connect to the web server the request is routed through the 3G connection and not completed.
In my app I'm using the standard "Reachability" framework from Apple to check the reachability of a provided host name through the wifi connection and I get 0 on the SCNetworkReachabilityFlags mask....
I'm quite sure the problem is due to the fact iOS (5.1 in my case) tries to check the reachability for some "standard" host in the network, before routing traffic through the WIFI connection.
Anyone knows what an iOS device do to "validate" a WIFI network? I can add hostnames or simple dummy services to the server machine if this can help me connect the device to a LOCAL-only network :)
It seems that iOS doesn't like to join networks without a gateway, also if the network is local you have to setup a correct gateway address.
Setting the gateway as the server itself did the trick and the device started to route TCP/IP over my local area wifi network.
