BitM Up! Session Stealing in Seconds Using the Browser-in-the-Middle Technique
- BitM attacks streamline session compromise across web applications, bypassing MFA with social engineering tactics to target session tokens.
- Robust defenses like hardware-based MFA, client certificates, and FIDO2 are essential to counter session-stealing threats.
- Social engineering exploits human vulnerabilities, prompting the use of MFA to enhance login security.
- Session tokens become valuable targets for attackers after users complete MFA authentication.
- Evilginx2 is a common tool for capturing session tokens, manipulating responses to steal login credentials and cookies.
- Browser in the Middle (BitM) enables rapid session stealing with minimal configuration, posing challenges for victims to distinguish real sites.
- Delusion tool by Mandiant supports BitM attacks at scale, facilitating session stealing and operations against targeted applications.
- BitM simplifies deploying session-stealing infrastructure against VDI environments, offering real-time monitoring and interaction capabilities.
- Defensive strategies against BitM attacks include client certificates, FIDO2, and hardware-based MFA solutions.
- Implementing security keys and certificates fortifies defenses but requires a layered approach to secure sensitive data effectively.
