3.2 Rogue Access Point Localization
After discovering the rogue access points, we need
to locate where they are and perform the
countermeasure. The localization is the process to
discover if the rogue access point is connecting to the
company’s network. If so, to which switch port the
rogue access point is connecting. AP localization
technique relies on the sniffing data getting from the
wireless client that is associated with the questioned

connecting to the internal network. This technique is
