There is an RF scanner out on the market called the Locust. It retails for
about 3800.00. That's a relatively cheap price compared to other products
out there. It will have all of the features you need to detect rogue APs. Go

Subject: detecting wireless access points


What is the best method to discover rogue wireless access points on your
network?  Other than the obvious, buy a laptop with a wireless card and
search theory.  Is there a network tool that would detect a wireless access
point being plugged in?  

As a security administrator, I would like to have the ability to know if a
user has purchased an access point and plugged it into my network.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
