Collaborative wireless intrusion protection system

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use in conjunction with a controller, the computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions that, when executed by the controller, cause the controller to perform operations, comprising:

• receiving, at an interface circuit, information identifying a rogue access point operating on a channel in a wireless local area network (WLAN);
• and
• providing, from the interface circuit, instructions addressed to at least a subset of access points, wherein the instructions indicate that at least the subset of the access points collaboratively attack the rogue access point, and
• wherein a given instruction for a given access point specifies a schedule of attacks by the given access point.

A method for facilitating collaborative attacks on a rouge rogue access point, comprising:

• by a controller;
• receiving, at an interface circuit, information identifying a rogue access point operating on a channel in a wireless local area network (WLAN);
• and
• providing, from the interface circuit, instructions addressed to at least a subset of access points, wherein the instructions indicate that at least the subset of the access points collaboratively attack the rogue access point, and
• wherein a given instruction for a given access point specifies a schedule of attacks by the given access point.
