Description: Interception is the act of capturing data as it is transmitted over a network. This process can occur intentionally or accidentally and may involve capturing sensitive information such as passwords, personal data, or financial information. Interception can be carried out using various techniques, such as network sniffers, which are tools designed to monitor and analyze data traffic on a network. Interception is a critical aspect of cybersecurity, as it can compromise the confidentiality and integrity of information. Additionally, it is a relevant topic in the context of privacy and data protection, as unauthorized capture of information can have serious legal and ethical repercussions. Interception is also related to security measures such as encryption, which aim to protect data in transit to make it difficult for unauthorized third parties to capture and understand. In the context of IoT, interception can be particularly concerning, given that many connected devices transmit sensitive data without adequate security measures.
