Dnyanada S. Patil, P. N. Mahalle . Using Multi-agent Sourcing Method for Detection and Elimination of Rogue Access Points in WLAN-802.11. International Journal of Computer Applications. 67, 25 ( April 2013), 31-34. DOI=10.5120/11746-7381
Due to the popularity of WLAN's there is tremendous rise in number of wireless attacks on Wireless LANs. Since, Security is a primary concern of any organizational network all threats to security of network must be eliminated properly before they cause harm to company network . One of such security threat is presence of rogue access point in the network. If these rogue access points are not handled properly in time may cause a serious loss to company network. Hence, there is need to detect and eliminate such rogue access points in the WLANs. Proposed system provides a cost effective solution for detection and elimination of rogue access points in network. The system has such eminent properties that assure complete elimination of rogue access point & it does not require any specialized hardware or software for its use . Also does an automatic scan without human intervention saving user's time.
