1. A method for selecting an AP for a portable terminal, the method comprising:
receiving a plurality of packets by a communicator from a plurality of APs which provide wireless communication services; analyzing the received plurality of packets by an FP selector and calculating reliability for security of the plurality of APs by the FP selector; and selecting, by the FP selector, a fake AP based on the calculated reliability, wherein the reliability is calculated based on all of the following situations: a situation in which two APs have different SSIDs but have the same MAC address; a situation in which two APs have different SSIDs and MAC addresses but reception signal strengths of the APs are equal or similar to one another; a situation in which two APs have the same MAC address and reception signal strengths of the APs are equal; a situation in which two APs have different SSIDs but reception signal strength of the APs are equal; and a situation in which an AP uses 3G or 4G at a back end.
