PREVENTION EFFORTS FOR SOCIAL ENGINEERING ATTACKS FROM ROGUE ACCESS POINT (CASE STUDY : TEMOO CAFÉ)

Abstract

An access point is a network device containing a transceiver and antenna for transmitting and receiving signals to and from remote clients. One device that can endanger a network is the presence of a Rogue Access Point (RAP). One technique used by rogue access point owners to obtain their target is by using Social Engineering techniques. This attack can camouflage itself and is therefore categorized as a dangerous attack. This attack can monitor network traffic and steal sensitive data from victims, which can ultimately be misused.
The prevention efforts of social engineering attacks from rogue access points through two methods: creating educational posters and using a rogue access point detection tool. Posters are used to help everyone to prevent themselves from such attacks, while the rogue access point detection tool is used to monitor the presence of these rogue access points. This tool works only to monitor and does not address the issue directly and technically. The cafe management has a role in directly addressing the existence of these rogue access points.
