Abstract
An apparatus and a method for identifying a rogue device having a media access control (MAC) address counterfeited/forged when a wireless intrusion prevention system controls an access to an access point (AP) and a wireless terminal which are not applied are disclosed. The apparatus includes: a sensor unit configured to collect MAC addresses, RSSI values, and RF feature values based on RF signals of wireless terminals; an RF feature database configured to store the collected MAC addresses, RSSI values, and RF feature values; and a terminal identification unit configured to identify whether a MAC of any one of the wireless terminals is forged by comparing information of the RF feature database with the RSSI value and the RF feature value of any one of the wireless terminals according to a MAC verification request of any one of the wireless terminals from the sensor unit.
