Hi Adam, I'd suggest that you approach jamming wireless with care, as it's certainly illegal in the UK and I suspect many other countries There are a number of products out there which will detect rogue Access Points, with reference to securing wireless in general, Matt Byrne's wirelessdefence.org note (Defence is spelt in English not American) is a great resource http://wirelessdefence.org/ We have details of the various Wireless Intrusion Detection Systems here http://www.networkintrusion.co.uk/index.php/component/mtree/IDS-and-IPS/Wire less-IDS.html Regards Andy Cuff Managing Director / CEO Computer Network Defence Ltd www.SecurityWizardry.com Tel 01225 811806 Mob 07968 608945 International +44 1225 811877 Skype: Taliskeruk LinkedIN http://www.linkedin.com/in/andycuff

The point is, no matter what network security measurements are taken, if an access point or a client with an unsecured connections appears, it is an optimal possibility to override each security measurement, opening a backdoor. Since no one can be forced to secure his/her connection (WLAN can also come from outside where even policies cannot be applied) i look for a possibility to jam the AP for a certain area. Of course, another possibility can be to go to each workstation and disable or secure its wireless NIC, which will most likely be an overhead. Thank you in advance for your feedback. cheers!
