To: "Luis A. Bastiao Silva" <[email protected]>


Hey ,For detecting  the MITM I have found some interesting techniques...

I would like to know the present techniques which the Packet Manipulator
uses..

And also tell me which of the techniques I have listed could work in the
present scenario...


Various defenses against MITM attacks use authentication techniques that are
based on:

   - Public key
infrastructures<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_infrastructure>
   - Stronger mutual
authentication<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_authentication>,
   such as:
      - Secret keys (which are usually high information
entropy<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory)>
secrets,
      and thus more secure), or
      - Passwords (which are usually low information entropy secrets, and
      thus less secure)
   - Latency examination, such as with long Cryptographic hash
function<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function>
calculations
   that lead into 10s of seconds; if both parties take 20 seconds normally, and
   the calculation takes 60 seconds to reach each party, this can indicate a
   third party
   - Second (secure) channel verification
   - One-time pads <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad> are immune to
   MITM attacks, assuming the security and trust of the one-time pad.
   - Carry-forward
verification<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carry-forward_verification&action=edit&redlink=1>


Cheers!
