Mac Find Script as mentioned on the show:

#!/usr/bin/perl
my %cards;
my %ips;
open(ARP,"arp -an|") || die "Couldn't open arp table: $!\n";
print "Put on the cornbread while I look up the OUIs.";
while(<ARP>) {
chomp;
my $addr = $_;
my $ip = $_;
$addr =~ s/.* ([\d\w]+:[\d\w]+:[\d\w]+):.*/$1/;
$addr =~ s/\b([\d\w])\b/0$1/g;
$addr =~ s/:/-/g;
next unless $addr =~ /..-..-../;
$ip =~ s/.*?(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+).*/$1/;
print ".";
$cards{$addr}||=`curl -sd 'x=$addr' http://standards.ieee.org/cgi-bin/ouisearch`;
($cards{$addr} =~ /Sorry!/) && ($cards{$addr} = "Unknown OUI: $addr");
$ips{$ip} = $addr;
}
print "\n";
for(keys(%ips)) {
$cards{$ips{$_}} =~ s/.*.hex.\s+([\w\s\,\.]+)\n.*/$1/s;
print "$_ -> $cards{$ips{$_}}\n";
}

Finding Rogue AP's
- Download a copy of NMAP, SScan or your favorite port scanned
- Inform your security folks you are scanning for rogue AP with a port scanner (if applicable)
- Scan your internal RFC 1918 IP address space for port 80
Normally a hit on this will be a rogue
