Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for detecting illegitimate devices on wireless networks may include (1) identifying an initial set of hops that represent devices on a wireless network that relay network traffic between the computing device and a destination, (2) identifying, after identifying the initial set of hops, a new set of hops that relay the network traffic between the computing device and the destination, (3) comparing the initial set of hops to the new set of hops, and (4) determining, based on the comparison, that the new set of hops comprises an abnormality that indicates an illegitimate device is intercepting the network traffic on the wireless network between the computing device and the destination. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for detecting illegitimate devices on wireless networks may include (1) identifying a baseline signal strength for a wireless network, (2) monitoring a signal strength of the wireless network to obtain at least one additional signal strength measurement, (3) determining that the additional signal strength measurement varies from the baseline signal strength beyond a threshold, (4) determining, in response to determining that the additional signal strength measurement varies from the baseline signal strength, that an illegitimate device is present on the wireless network, and (5) initiating, in response to determining that the illegitimate device is present on the wireless network, a security action. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for detecting illegitimate devices on wireless networks may include (1) generating a fake network identification string that uniquely identifies a fake wireless network, (2) transmitting a request to connect to the fake wireless network, (3) receiving, in response to the request, a response from a network device that indicates the fake wireless network is available, and (4) determining, based on receiving the response that indicates the fake wireless network is available, that the network device is illegitimate. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
