Fake AP in the Vendor field of Netstumbler

Subject: Fake AP in the Vendor field of Netstumbler
Date: 27 Nov 2004 12:23:31 -0000


Hi,

  Was working on the Vulnerability Assessment of a client network with about 
100 Access Points. Began with Netstumbler and it started showing me some AP's 
as Fake in the Vendor field. I know that they are Cisco AP's, but am not too 
sure why they are displayed as Fake AP's

I googled around a little but did not get any satisfactory answers - one on 
Netstumbler.org said it was a quirk in the version 0.4.0. Others suggested that 
I delete the Fake entry and retry - this also did not lead me anywhere

Anyone 'stumbled' on some other explanations

Rgds,
Shankar
