Rogue DHCP servers should not be a problem in any decently engineered enterprise or college campus network. Cisco switches have included DHCP snooping for years which when used only allows authorized switch ports to act as a DHCP server. Any decent enterprise wireless platform should either have transparent firewall functionality to block client DHCP responses or an equivalent to DHCP snooping.

If you've properly deployed these tools you've greatly limit the potential impact of a DHCP based worm.

Home router? Anyone test this against Linksys junk yet?
