MAN-IN-THE-MIDDLE ATTACK

 

There are different cyber-attack methods in cyberspace or on the internet. One of the oldest attacks is MITM (MAN-IN-THE-MIDDLE ATTACK). As the name implies, the attacker plays a middle man role between the end-user and an application. The attacker intercepts the communication between the two parties and manipulates it. The attacker may use this method to steal login credentials, personal information, or to spy. This method usually has two phases' interception and encryption.
