Interception of network traffic

The article examines current cybersecurity challenges: methods of intercepting network data, their consequences for the information security system, and modern approaches to preventing unauthorized access. In the context of the growing number of cyber threats, the analysis of such technologies as sniffers, proxy services, and man-in-the-middle attacks is of particular importance. The technical aspects of implementing such threats, including the data interception mechanism, are considered in detail. The focus is also on real cases of information leaks, which allows identifying weaknesses in protection. The authors propose a set of measures to reduce risks: the introduction of cryptographic protocols and advanced user authentication methods. The article is aimed at information security specialists, IT experts, and anyone interested in data protection in the digital age.
