that's actually quite clever. I might look it up....

Not at all - if you use the LAN based component of the Airtight unit

these packets into the air, and the wireless component of Airtight
would pick these up and identify the presence of a wireless device
connected to your LAN. You're right in that you couldn't work the
other way round - sorry for not being clearer!

that can't be very effective, if I attached a rogue access point, the
first thing I would do is to wpa protect it so nobody else can use it
and arouse suspicions...
it would also block this test.

www.Airtightnetworks.net offer commercial products that can do what
you need.
It sits on your network and works by sending small packets back to
itself through any air based devices it can pick up (if these are
connected to your network then the packets will loop back), thus
both valid and invalid access points can be identified.

Subject: Wired detection of rogue access points
Hello there,
Can anyone point me to a wired LAN scanner/sniffer that detects
wireless access points connected to the LAN?
Thanks,
JW
