Abstract
An access point impersonation protection system ('the system') can scan for wireless network signals to detect a wireless network provided by a malicious access point. The system can collect a network feature associated with the wireless network. The system can analyze the network feature and can provide analysis results to a machine learning classifier. The machine learning classifier can assign a classification to the access point. The classification can be a benign classification indicative of the access point being benign. The classification can be a malicious classification indicative of the access point being malicious. The network feature can be an active time, an SSID name, a vendor, a model, a signal strength, an authentication requirement, or a combination thereof. The system can alert upon identifying a malicious access point and apply counter measures to prevent the malicious access point from causing harm to nearby devices.
