  • Method and apparatus for detecting a rogue access point in a communication network
    Patent number: 8549634
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a rogue access point in a communication network is described herein. The method includes a probing unit sending a pre-detection message to an associated access point in the communication network. The pre-detection message indicates a start of rogue access point detection mode and informs the associated access point not to respond to probe requests following the pre-detection message. The method further includes the probing unit broadcasting probe requests in the communication network. The probing unit detect that one or more of the plurality of access points is the rogue access point based on receiving a probe response in reply to the broadcasted probe request from the rogue access point. A method for detecting a rogue access point includes broadcasting a probe request with a proprietary information bit and detecting the rogue access point based on receiving a probe response for the broadcasted probe request.
