Man-in-the-Middle Detection

Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks represent one of the most insidious threats in network security. In these attacks, attackers position themselves between legitimate communication endpoints to intercept, modify, or redirect traffic. From a blue team perspective, detecting these attacks requires a multi-layered approach combining network monitoring, certificate validation, and behavioral analysis. 

In this room, we'll learn the fundamentals of Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks and how to spot the signs in network traffic.

Learning Objectives

This room focuses on the following learning objectives:

• Understand common MITM attack vectors and techniques
• Learn to identify indicators of compromise related to MITM attacks
• Master network monitoring tools for detecting suspicious traffic patterns
• Practice incident response procedures for MITM scenarios

Prerequisites

This room expects users to have explored or covered the following rooms:

• Wirehsark: The Basics
• Network Security Essentials
• Networks Discovery Detection
