Rogue access point detection methods: A review

Rogues are unwanted whether they are access points or clients as they steal critical data and bandwidth. To detect a rogue access point different approaches are used. These approaches are briefly classified as Client-side approach, Server-side and Hybrid approach. Every approach has its own advantages and disadvantages. Clients have limited resources and do not possess much control over network when compared with servers. Amongst all approaches Hybrid approach is efficient because it minimizes the inabilities of client side approach and adds server control for detection of Rogue Access Points (AP). This paper aims at surveying different methods of rogue Access Point detection.
