You're being paranoid. Even if attacker create malicious network with conflicting ID, there are few ways to avoid it
1. Your device will auto connect to correct network (if you already connected to it before and set it to auto-connect)
2. If both connection uses password, the malicious network should've use different password, where you shouldn't be able connect to malicious network.
3. If the fake network don't use password, you should realize it by check the security type of the WiFi network.
Hello there, Point 1 is true, but I believe there are people who don't activate this feature, they choose network manually, so if they choose true network then it will automatically connect, and if they choose wrong network then they will be asked to enter the password and here it begins.
Point 2 is what kevin meant. There are tools that create a Hotspot with the same name as your network, and monitor the access switches, that is, when you type in a password and the network and it does not work, it does not matter to them. The important thing is that the password you are trying to enter has been sent to them, and then they enter your original network through it. Ie: entering the password into the wrong network is same as chatting the hacker your original network password.
Point 3 is true, but I don't think hacker is going to make an open network because their goal is to know your password, so I believe it should be wpa or wp2.
