I was just randomly thinking about this.... How did Marriot block patrons from using their own WiFi hotspot ?
- jamming freqs wouln't work - as their own sigs would fail too
- hijack SSID would work for awhile
- only register MAC of real computers connected to network
- ???
"Jamming" of sorts using Allot NetEnforcer.
Argh. Download the above file, save it somewhere, rename it Gaylord_Publish.pdf, and you should be able to read it. "Fair Share WiFi Access" = jamming
Basically, the NetEnforcer box detects "rogue" access points, and floods the AP with deauth frames from a forged MAC address. There are similar systems from other vendors used to detect rogue access points in corporate or secure environments.
thanks - will grab and read - couldn't get my head around a way that would not disrupt the valid AP - de WA9TKA -
tnx - very interesting reading the various blogs on the topic -
