Where can you purchase rouge access points?
A rogue access point is a wireless access point that is not authorized or controlled by the administrators of the network that it is connected to. Depending on the intended usage, it may or may not use the same SSID as the legitimate access points on the network. Rogue access points are considered a security risk, either because they can allow unauthorized access to the network, or because they may be connected through a sniffer in order to capture network traffic passing through them. Any access point can be considered a rouge access point if connected to the network in an unauthorized manner.
