Hi All, I work for AirMagnet, so feel free to take my statements with the appropriate level of skepticism. Our analyzers identify Rogue Access points using a variety of detection mechanisms, and we do support GPS. The issue to keep in mind here is that the GPS unit is going to report YOUR current location, not the GPS location of the rogue. To locate a Rogue, it is actually much easier to use the Find Tool in our analyzer. The application provides you with a list of Rogues along with their MAC addresses. The Find Tool can then lock on to the MAC of the device you want to find, and use the signal from that device to track its location, much like a Geiger counter.
Hope this helps, Wade Williamson -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jdebert Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 10:13 PM To: Larry Mateo Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [BAWUG] rogue access point detection Larry Mateo wrote: > Hello, > > Is there a product where it is GPS-enabled so that rogue AP's can be > easily located?

This discusses using free, low cost and off-the-shelf components to detect locate unauthorised users including AP's. Registration is required to read the white papers on this site. The direct link does not work, which is why it is not given here. Apologies for the delay. =-= _______________________________________________ BAWUG's general wireless chat mailing list [unsubscribe] http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
