Using Ethernet scans to locate WLAN APs ?
I am working in a larger company, with quite a few branch offices, so travelling around to scan for APs in not practical.
Is there any tools that can scan for APs using the ethernet ? I was mostly thinking of scanning for MAC address-ranges that is known to be used by WLAN equipment.
Other solutions: Scan for HTTP servers - But will give many false positives, and if the web interface is deactivated, or has been moved to another port it will not work.
Looking for 192.168.x.y traffic would probably find WLAN bridges - but would also give false positives.
Is there any - even half-good - solution that will work ?
