GLOSSARY

Wireless Intrusion Detection Sensor (WIDS) WIDS is designed to be employed in an area that is serviced by an existing wireless network. It aids in the early detection of malicious outsider attacks and intrusions via wireless networks.

Rogue AP A rogue access point is any Wi-Fi access point connected to the network without authorization. As it is not authorized, if there is any weakness in the AP, the hacker will have chance to compromise the network.

Rogue Station It is similiar to Rogue AP, while it is a station.

Monitor AP An AP will scan or listen to the air, and try to detect wireless attack in the network. Some AP products will work only in monitor role, while some AP products could switch between normal AP role (only provide wireless access service)and monitor AP role.

Ad Hoc Mode Station could work under Ad hoc mode, then they could directly do peer-to-peer communication without other device support.
