Learning Objectives

By the end of this module, learners will be able to:

1. Understand the concepts of network sniffing and Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks.

2. Learn how attackers intercept and manipulate network traffic during MITM attacks.

3. Explore tools such as Mitmproxy for performing traffic interception and analysis.

4. Perform step-by-step simulations of MITM attacks in controlled environments.

5. Analyze real-world scenarios of MITM attacks in institutional or organizational networks.

Learning Outcomes

After completing this module, learners will be able to:

1. Explain how network sniffing and MITM attacks compromise data confidentiality and integrity.

2. Demonstrate the ability to capture and analyze network traffic using appropriate tools.

3. Execute MITM attack simulations using Mitmproxy in a safe lab setup.

4. Identify vulnerabilities that allow traffic interception in networks.

5. Recommend and apply security measures to prevent MITM attacks in real-world environments.
