RE: Tool to find rouge wireless access points?

["Vincent Yeo" <vincent () systex com sg>]

Hi Jon,

If you are detecting any AP that is going to connect to your network, have you implement port security on your network? 
Or go by mac address filtering? Mac address should be able to determine which brand of network is connected to it.

Correct me if I m wrong. I m still learning. :)

Thanks,
Vincent Yeo

repost for group:


Nessus will do this. There is a plugin just for this.

More rudimentary, is that you can use a wireless scanner to capture
traffic. Use strings and a perl script to pull hostnames from the
traffic and then compare those hostnames to your inventory (I told you
it was rudimentary, but this will tell you either you have a your
clients connecting to a rogue ap that they set up, or they are
connecting to one circumventing your controls). David Hoelzer from
SANS gives a tutorial for this:
