MITM Attack

Description

Intercepts communication between two parties, allowing the attacker to eavesdrop or manipulate data.

Mitigation Capabilities

  • Anycast: No, doesn't address communication interception.
  • NGINX Proxy: No, not applicable for MITM.
  • HAProxy: No, irrelevant for interception threats.
  • IDS Suricata: Yes, detects unusual traffic patterns indicative of MITM.
  • WAF: No, not suitable for network-layer interception.
  • OWASP Rules: No, unrelated to MITM.
  • Complex anycast solution – WEDOS Protection: Partially, can secure communications using SSL/TLS.
