How to Test Adversary-in-the-Middle Without Hacking Tools

Key Points:

• Main threat/vulnerability: Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) attacks targeting credential harvesting.
• Impact and affected systems: These attacks can compromise user credentials and bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA), affecting any system reliant on these security measures.
• Recommended actions: Implement robust security measures, including user education on recognizing phishing attempts and ensuring MFA is configured correctly to mitigate risks.

MITRE ATT&CK: Techniques related to credential dumping and exploitation of authentication mechanisms may apply.

IOCs: None mentioned.

SOC teams should remain vigilant against AiTM tactics and continuously update their defenses to counter evolving threats.
