    Abstract: Various methods for detecting a summoning attack by a malicious access point (AP) may include generating a random service set identifier (SSID), transmitting a probe request including the random SSID, determining whether a probe response including the random SSID is received, identifying an AP as a rogue AP in response to receiving a probe response including the random SSID, and in response to not receiving a probe response including the random SSID: generating a second SSID comprising a random selection of a plurality of words; transmitting a second probe request including the second SSID; determining whether a probe response including the second SSID is received; identifying an AP as a rogue AP in response to determining that a probe response including the second SSID is received; and determining that no rogue AP is present in response to determining that a probe response including the second SSID is not received.
