The unauthorized access is an important security threat in wireless networks. However, a user that might be deceived for connecting to a rouge access point is also quite dangerous scenario. The rouge access point, called Evil-Twin (ET), can be easily setup without users' noticeability. An attacker might eavesdrop or redirect the traffic for hacking or phishing purposes. In this paper, an Evil-Twin detection on client-side has been proposed. By investigating the frame RTT and its corresponding MCS, the simulation results revealed that the mechanism can be able to correctly identify the existing of ET. The implementation is also very simple by requiring user to move around the area for collecting data.
