MITM Attack is a DDoS technique that targets system availability by overloading infrastructure. This page explains the attack, mitigation capabilities, and the role of WEDOS Global.
Description
Intercepts communication between two parties, allowing the attacker to eavesdrop or manipulate data.
Mitigation Capabilities
Anycast: No, doesn’t address communication interception.
NGINX Proxy: No, not applicable for MITM.
HAProxy: No, irrelevant for interception threats.
IDS Suricata: Yes, detects unusual traffic patterns indicative of MITM.
WAF: No, not suitable for network-layer interception.
OWASP Rules: No, unrelated to MITM.
Complex anycast solution – WEDOS Global (or Cloudflare for example): Partially, can secure communications using SSL/TLS.
Solutions
Implement SSL/TLS encryption and use secure authentication mechanisms.
