N2 - We first give a comprehensive taxonomy of rouge access points (APs), which includes a new class of rouge APs never addressed in the literature before. Then, we propose an efficient rogue AP protection system termed as RAP for commodity Wi-Fi networks. In RAP, novel techniques are introduced to detect rouge APs and to improve network resilience. Our system has the following nice properties: i) it requires neither specialized hardware nor modification to existing standards; ii) the proposed mechanism can be integrated with an AP in a plugin manner; iii) it provides a cost-effective security enhancement to Wi-Fi networks by incorporating free but mature software tools; iv) it can protect the network from adversaries capable of using customized equipment and violating the IEEE 802.11 standard.
