WiFi exploit via duplicated SSID
I read a discussion on this potential exploit on another forum. Unfortunately, that discussion descended into silliness (lame jokes).
So here it is: I am running a wireless network. Some rogue finds my SSID and uses the same SSID himself, on his WiFi server.. One of my WiFi clients (a notebook computer, say) connects to the rogue network instead of my own network, because the SSIDs are identical. The rogue WiFi server can now observe all my data.
Is this possible? I use WPA2 with pre-shared key. Can the rogue WiFi server read my WPA2 password, along with all my network traffic?
