how Hackers SNiFF (capture) network traffic // MiTM attack

Summary by Krater

A cybersecurity tutorial demonstrating how to perform a man-in-the-middle attack using a Raspberry Pi and three hacking tools: nmap, Ettercap, and Wireshark.

Answers: How do you perform a man-in-the-middle attack to sniff network traffic using a Raspberry Pi?

• network sniffing
• man-in-the-middle attack
• ARP poisoning
• Wireshark packet analysis
• nmap network scanning

What it concludes

• Hubs broadcast all incoming network traffic to all connected devices, making them insecure.
• Switches only send traffic to the specific destination device, improving security compared to hubs.
• Unencrypted protocols like HTTP, Telnet, and FTP expose sensitive data such as usernames and passwords during network sniffing.
• ARP poisoning allows an attacker to intercept traffic between a victim device and a router by spoofing MAC addresses.
