Re: Wired detection of rogue access points

Unless there is a backbone to a wireless network passing over your ethernet 
lines, you really won't be able to specifically detect a wireless AP on your 
network. You could just detect for rogue systems/MACs if you track that kind of 
stuff. A rogue WAP just looks like any old rogue system.

Your best bet is a laptop with a wireless adapter running a *nix version and 
kismet. That way you can just turn it on, see if you can detect wireless 
networks in your area, and investigate.

Get the MAC of the APs and see if you can find that MAC on your network.

Can anyone point me to a wired LAN scanner/sniffer that detects wireless access 
points connected to the LAN?
