When configuring wireless on his home router, Javik disables SSID broadcast. He leaves authentication "open" but sets the SSID to a 32-character string of random letters and numbers.

What is an accurate assessment of this scenario from a security perspective?

A.
Since the SSID is required in order to connect, the 32-character string is sufficient to prevent bruteforce attacks.
