Public places like bus station, restaurant, malls etc. having a device like wireless access point through which they provide service to the end user. To detect a unauthorized access point different approaches are used. These approaches are briefly classified as client-side approach, Server-side and Hybrid approach. Every approach has its own pros and cons. As we know clients have limited resources and do not possess much control over network when compared with servers. Amongst all available approaches Hybrid approach is efficient because it minimizes the inabilities of client side approach and adds server control for detection of Unauthorized AP. The motive of this paper is to surveying different methods of unauthorized access point detection.
