Abstrct:
Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks are a critical cyber security threat where attackers intercept and manipulate communication between two parties without their knowledge. This research project aims to enhance organizational readiness and response capabilities by creating detailed simulation scenarios based on MitM attacks. These scenarios will cover various aspects of MitM attacks, including their detection, interruption, and prevention. Furthermore, the project will establish preventive measures to mitigate the risk of future MitM attacks. This includes deploying security protocols, educating users about secure practices, and configuring robust network defenses. By thoroughly simulating MitM attack scenarios, this project aims to provide organizations with practical insights and strategies to enhance their incident response frameworks, train theirsecurity teams more effectively, and fortify their cybersecurity defenses against MitM threats.
