Compliance Node Overview
MITRE CAPEC-157 (Sniffing Attacks) is a standard-level attack pattern in the MITRE Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification. In this attack pattern, the adversary intercepts information transmitted between two third parties. The adversary must be able to observe, read, and/or hear the communication traffic, but not necessarily block the communication or change its content. Any transmission medium can theoretically be sniffed if the adversary can examine the contents between the sender and recipient. Likelihood of attack: Unknown. Typical severity: Medium. Parent pattern for CAPEC-158 Sniffing Network Traffic; CAPEC-31 Accessing/Intercepting/Modifying HTTP Cookies; CAPEC-57 Utilizing REST's Trust in the System Resource to Obtain Sensitive Data; and others. Maps to weaknesses CWE-311.
