Rogue Access Points

A rogue AP is an AP or wireless router that has been connected to a corporate network without explicit authorization and against corporate policy

Once connected, the rogue AP can be used by an attacker to capture MAC addresses, capture data packets, gain access to network resources, or launch a man-in-the-middle attack

A personal network hotspot could also be used as a rogue AP. For example, a user with secure network access enables their authorized Windows host to become a Wi-Fi AP
