Abstract
A computer-implemented method for detecting rogue client devices connected to wireless hotspots may include maintaining at least one illegitimate authentication identifier that appears to rogue client devices to facilitate authentication with an external network via a wireless hotspot. The method may also include providing the illegitimate authentication identifier to one or more client devices connected to the wireless hotspot. The method may further include receiving an authentication request to authenticate the client device with at least one external network via the wireless hotspot. The method may additionally include determining that the authentication request includes the illegitimate authentication identifier. Finally, the method may include determining that the client device is a rogue device based at least in part on the illegitimate authentication identifier being included in the authentication request. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
