Rogue Access Point: HOWTOs:
A 'Rogue Access Point'
can be several things. A common definition is:
"Any AP that has been installed
without the permission of the network administrator"
This could be an AP that
was brought into the organisation and setup without permission by internal
employees to allow them the flexibility wireless offers (while creating a
back-door into the organisation). On the other hand, a rogue AP could also be an
AP installed on the internal network by a hacker or indeed penetration tester to
allow them to access internal network resources while by bypassing network
security devices (e.g. firewalls). Some sections of the media are
referring to Rogue Access Points as "Evil Twins" essentially they are one and
the same.
We are going to cover
various ways of setting up Rogue Access points. Rogue APs can be setup,
simply using a Linux machine and various inbuilt services or by utilising
various third party tools:
