Abstract:Although monkey-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks are well-known, little is done to prevent them. We'll give examples of MITM attacks against SSL Web sites, Kerberos, and SSH, all using free tools in a typical campus computer lab, then we'll show how vendors, sysadmins, and even end users can protect against these attacks.
