Re: Tool for Identifying Rogue Linksys Routers

Is there a scanning tool out there that can determine if there are
unauthorized Linksys (type) routers in a specific VLAN?

Try pinging all hosts using nmap:

Then find MAC addresses that are from Linksys's space. I know macchanger
[1] has a list of what addresses belong to which vendors.

Except, of course, that most Linksys units allow mac cloning through the
web interface.

This won't find anyone who is deliberately avoiding the scan, nor anyone
who messed with the config out of boredom.
