[Full-disclosure] how to bypass rouge machine detection techniques

Friends,

There are several techniques available for detecting rouge (not being
a member of trusted domain) machines, such as active scanning, active
directory querying etc, but I guess most powerful being the one used
by epolicy orchestrator. Its agents (deployed on each subnet) checks
for L2 broadcasts like Arp broadcast etc. After detecting a broadcast,
it used the mac address and ip address to proceed further to detect
whether the machine is rouge or not.

I was wondering if this approach is foolproof and can be safely
deployed or if there is a way to bypass it?

Regards,
Gaurav
