How can I prevent man-in-the-middle attacks?

What are man-in-the-middle attacks and how can I prevent them?

Man-in-the-middle attacks occur when an attacker intercepts communication between two parties. To prevent them, you can use encryption, ensure secure connections (like HTTPS), and implement strong authentication methods.

What encryption methods are best for securing communications?

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is widely used for securing data. Additionally, using TLS (Transport Layer Security) for web communications is essential.

How can I tell if my connection is secure?

Look for HTTPS in the URL, a padlock icon in the address bar, and check the website's security certificate.

Are there any tools to help detect man-in-the-middle attacks?

Yes, tools like Wireshark can help analyze network traffic for suspicious activity, and intrusion detection systems can alert you to potential attacks.
