Multi-Channel Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks are special MitM capable of manipulating encrypted wireless frames between two legitimate endpoints. Since its inception in 2014, attackers have been targeting Wi-Fi networks to perform different attacks, such as cipher downgrades, denial service, key reinstallation (KRACK) 2017, and recently FragAttacks 2021, which widely impacted millions devices...

The Initial Network Entry procedure is the first stage in establishing a connection in an IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) network. The process involves the transmission of unencrypted management messages, which constitutes a major security flaw that is exploited by the Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack. This security defect necessitates the implementation of appropriate security protocols. Research has shown...

Domain Name System (DNS) cache poisoning is a stepping stone towards advanced (cyber) attacks. DNS cache poisoning can be used to monitor users’ activities for censorship, to distribute malware and spam and to subvert correctness and availability of Internet clients and services. Currently, the DNS infrastructure relies on challengeresponse defences against attacks by (the common) off-path adve...

TCP/IP protocols have long been subject to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, but the advent of SSL/TLS was supposed to mitigate that risk for web transactions by providing endpoint authentication and encryption. The advent of Dug Song's 'webmitm' in late 2000 demonstrated the feasibility of mounting an MITM attack on the protocol, but a properlyconfigured client SSL implementation would warn th...

For secure communication it is not just sufficient to use strong cryptography with good and strong keys, but to actually have the assurance, that the keys in use for it are authentic and from the contact one is expecting to communicate with. Without that, it is possible to be subject to impersonation or man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. Mega meets this problem by providing a hierarchical authen...

This paper deals with modern cellular phones that operate on Voice over Internet Protocol, their current development, several Information security risks associated with them and various countermeasures that can be undertaken to prevent data theft/misuse. VoIP is vulnerable to well known traditional modes of attack such as Denial of Service (DoS),Man in the middle (MiTM) etc but also introduces ...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are being used more and in a variety of fields, including the environment, energy efficiency, smart transportation, intelligent agriculture, Internet Things (IoT) ecosystems. They also anticipated to play an increasingly significant role future due strong evolution wireless technology recent years. Nevertheless, this inter-node communication is vulnerable various...

The meet-in-the-middle (MITM) attack has prove to be efficient in analyzing the AES block cipher. Its efficiency has been increasing with the introduction of various techniques such as differential enumeration, key-dependent sieve, super-box etc. The recent MITM attack given by Li and Jin has successfully mounted to 10-round AES-256. Crypton is an AES-like block cipher. In this paper, we apply ...

This paper presents ongoing work towards extensions of meetin-the-middle (MITM) attacks on block ciphers. Exploring developments in MITM attacks in hash analysis such as: (i) the splice-and-cut technique; (ii) the indirect-partial-matching technique. Our first contribution is that we show corrections to previous cryptanalysis and point out that the key schedule is more vulnerable to MITM attack...
