Abstract

Accessing unauthorized rogue APs in WiFi environments is a very dangerous behavior which may lead WiFi users to be exposed to the various cyber attacks such as sniffing, phishing, and pharming attacks. Therefore, prompt and precise detection of rogue APs and properly alarming to the corresponding users has become one of most essential requirements for the WiFi security. This paper proposes a new rogue AP detection method which is mainly using the installation information of authorized APs and the DHCP snooping information of the corresponding switches. The proposed method detects rogue APs promptly and precisely, and notify in realtime to the corresponding users. Since the proposed method is simple and does not require any special devices, it is very cost-effective comparing to the wireless intrusion prevention systems which are normally based on a number of detection sensors and servers. And it is highly precise and prompt in rogue AP detection and flexible in deployment comparing to the existing rogue AP detection methods based on the timing information, location information, and white list information.
