Abstract
Various embodiments provide methods, devices, and non-transitory processor-readable storage media enabling rogue access point detection with a communications device by sending multiple probes via different network connections to a remote server and receiving probe replies. Various embodiments may include a communication device transmitting a first probe addressed to a server via a first network connection and a second probe addressed to the server via a second network connection. Upon receiving a first probe reply from the server via the first network connection and a second probe reply from the server via the second network connection server, the communications device may analyze the received probe replies to determine whether an access point of either the first network or the second network is a rogue access point.
