  • Lesson Objective: Introduce students to the concept of network interception attacks, notably spoofing techniques and Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks. They will learn how attackers can eavesdrop or tamper with communications (e.g., via ARP spoofing, DNS spoofing, rogue Wi-Fi) and the associated risks. Equally important, they will learn defenses to prevent or mitigate MITM attacks (encryption, verification, network safeguards). This lesson continues the “ninja” theme: teaching how to both detect and dodge stealthy interception moves in the cyber battlefield.
