    What is rogue access point?
    It is a wireless access point that has either been installed on a secure company network without explicit authorization from a local network administrator,[1] or has been created to allow a hacker to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack.

    This is a threat because , because anyone with access to the premises can install (maliciously or non-maliciously) an inexpensive wireless router that can potentially allow access to a secure network to unauthorized parties.

    Ways to overcome rogue access points:
    1. Detect unauthorised access points.
    2.Encrypting the network with IPSec protocol
    3. Know your access points.
