Tech For Aware

Introduction Man in Middle attack A Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack is a form of cyberattack in which an adversary secretly intercepts, and potentially alters, the communication between two parties who believe they are communicating directly with each other. The attacker positions themselves, literally or logically "in the middle" of the data path, allowing them to eavesdrop on sensitive information, inject malicious content, or impersonate one or both parties. MITM attacks are particularly dangerous because they can be nearly invisible to the victims. Unlike attacks that crash a system or display obvious ransom notes, a well-executed MITM attack can run silently for weeks or months, quietly harvesting credentials, financial data, or confidential communications. How a MITM Attack Works At its core, every MITM attack follows a two-phase structure: 1. Interception The attacker must first find a way to place themselves between the victim and the intended destination ...

Tor Browser (The Onion Router) is a free, open-source web browser designed to defend against network surveillance, traffic analysis, and unauthorized profiling.   Built on top of a modified version of Mozilla Firefox ESR, it routes web traffic through a decentralized, volunteer-operated proxy network that makes tracking a user's location, identity, and browsing behavior exceptionally difficult. How Tor Browser Works Tor relies on a technique called Onion Routing .    Rather than connecting your device directly to a website's server, Tor encrypts your traffic in layers (like an onion) and bounces it through a randomized circuit of three volunteer nodes (relays): Entry (Guard) Node: The first stop in the circuit. It sees your real IP address but cannot see where you are ultimately going or the contents of your payload. Middle (Relay) Node: Serves as a buffer. It only knows the IP of the entry node and the exit node, keeping them isolated from each other. Exit Node:...
