A review on attack in wireless and computer networking

The Man-In-The-Middle attack is one of the most widely discussed assaults in computer security, and it is a significant worry for many security experts. The attackers are after the actual data traveling between the endpoints, as well as the data's integrity and confidentiality. Eavesdropping and message alteration via communication interception are two ways that an adversary may undermine confidentiality and integrity. Adversaries may also intercept, alter, or delete communications to prevent one of the parties from communicating, resulting in a breach of availability problem. We provide a comprehensive overview of MITM in this article in order to classify and analyze the extent of MITM assaults. We looked at the OSI reference model as well as two common networking technologies, GSM and UMTS. MITM attacks are categorized depending on a number of factors, including the attacker's location, impersonation methods, and the channel's type. The current countermeasures are examined. MITM attacks are divided into four types in the paper: spoofing-based MITM, TLS/SSL MITM, BGP MITM, and fake base station-based MITM. Finally, we offer preventive methods for all types of assaults, as well as a few research ideas for the future.
