Explanation:
The definition of a Rogue access point is:
1. A wireless access point (AP) installed by an employee without the consent of the IT department.
Without the proper security configuration,users have exposed their company’s network to the
outside world.
2. An access point (AP) set up by an attacker outside a facility with a wireless network. Also called
an “evil twin,” the rogue AP picks up beacons (signals that advertise its presence) from the
company’s legitimate AP and transmits identical beacons,which some client machines inside the
building associate with.
