Abstract
A list is received from the Wi-Fi controller of rogue Wi-Fi 6E access points identified by BSSID within a vicinity of the Wi-Fi 6E access points based on RSSI measurements sent to the Wi-Fi controller. A rogue Wi-Fi 6E access point of the Wi-Fi controller list from the periodic beacon scanning. In response, prior to connection of any station to the rogue Wi-Fi 6E access point, broadcasts spoofed beacons on behalf of the rogue Wi-Fi 6E access point, using SSID and BSSID over the current operating channel of the rogue Wi-Fi 6E access point. The beacons are spoofed by modifying the MFP field value to indicate no encryption capability and also to indicate no encryption requirement for management frames.
