Abstract
A method for detecting a security breach in a network comprises at one of a plurality of transceivers each having a different media access control address, receiving a signal from an access point, the signal representing one or more packets of data, determining a source media access control address for each of the packets, and alerting the access point when the source media access control address of one of the packets is the media access control address of the transceiver.
