The most critical subject in information
communication technologies is information security. Information security is
defined as the prevention of access, use, modification, disclosure, removal,
alteration and damage of information as an entity type without permission or in
an unauthorized manner. Threats to information security continue to increase
with today's evolving technology. Protecting our data is not an easy task these
days when attackers are constantly discovering new techniques and exploits to
steal our data. One of the most used of these techniques is the Man in the middle
(MITM) attack. Attackers can use this attack to listen to local network traffic
and steal end-user data from traffic flowing without malicious software or virus.
In addition, passwords can be obtained by bypassing SSL. There are many common
ways of starting an MITM attack. The simplest of these will be to create a fake
node in an open computer network like Coffee Shops WiFi network. In this study,
the concept of information security has been emphasized and the necessary
criteria have been explained. Then, a popular type of attack, the MITM attack,
has been implemented in various ways over the Linux operating system. After
prevention methods for this attack, which was performed by various methods,
have been described. As a result, the MITM attack, one of the popular types of
attacks that threaten information security, has been introduced, the various
forms of application have been shown both in technical and practical terms, and
the methods of prevention have been described. With this study, it is aimed to
establish an awareness in this issue and to take precautions against the
threats that may arise with developing technology.
