Rogue wireless access point detection

摘要

A method includes, receiving a first set of media access control (MAC) addresses from one or more wireless communication detection devices of a network. The method also includes receiving a second set of MAC addresses from one or more wired devices of the network. The second set of MAC addresses corresponds to devices with wired connections to the network. The method further includes, determining that a wireless device having a first MAC address of the first set of media access control addresses is a potential rogue wireless device when a numeric value of the first MAC address and a numeric value of a second MAC address of the second set of MAC addresses differ by no more than a threshold amount and when a first location associated with a device that detects the first MAC address matches a second location associated with the second MAC address.
