Yeah, but an Evil Twin is a kind of Rogue AP.

The most common Rogue AP is an ilegitimate AP that is plugged in a network to create a bypass from outside into the legitime network.

An Evil Twin is a copy of a legitimate AP. The target is different. It tries to hook clients to connect to the fake network to steal information, but is a kind of Rogue AP too. A lot of people is wrong about this. They think an Evil Twin is not a Rogue AP but it is too. Look at the definition on Wikipedia: Rogue AP. You can read there "... it is tagged as rogue access point of the second kind, which is often called an "evil twin"Evil Twin".

The Evil Twin has too "good" or "positive" usage. It can be used during a pentesting over a corporate network to measure the "security education" or better said, the user's security awareness. To see how many bite the lure.
