A streetpass "AP" was spoofed on a laptop with hostapd by setting the SSID to "Nintendo_3DS_continuous_scan_000", with the extra Nintendo tag from another 3DS' probe request. The SSID and AP can't be easily spoofed with hostapd for streetpass when 3DS is "active", for the random "ic[kSvm9s@*cYD>/~IEVj\(fGG;qDo8j" strings. The 3DS didn't seem to authenticate or associate with the "AP". Streetpass "AP" comms use CCMP encryption. Eventually the 3DS stops communicating with the fake "AP" since the AP doesn't understand the sent data,(especially since it's encrypted) and sends a 802.11 "Action" frame, with category ID 0x7f and Nintendo's vendor ID: 00 1f 32.(However the 3DS keeps communicating with the above process repeatedly)

Like 3DS<>3DS communications, the 3DS didn't authenticate or associate with the host. Streetpass communications use CCMP encryption. Eventually the 3DS stops communicating with the host since the host doesn't reply to any of the data frames, then sends a 802.11 "Action" frame, with category ID 0x7f and Nintendo's vendor ID: 00 1f 32.(However the 3DS keeps communicating with the above process repeatedly)

Communication with two 3DSes are the same as above except there's encrypted data sent to/from both consoles, unlike the fake "AP".
