What’s the difference between a rogue access point and an evil twin?

Question

So far from what I’ve understood is that they’re both illegitimate access points designed to trick users into connecting in an attempt to steal their data, so what’s the difference?

Answer 1

A rogue access point is like someone getting access to the bank through a side door that wasn’t supposed to be open. An evil twin is like someone building a replica of the bank nearby, hoping someone will punch the real entry key code into the fake keypad, not realizing it isn’t the real bank.
