Method of Threat

Packet Replay
Description
A packet replay is a network security threats where an attacker will detects and intercepts the data transmission between the two clients. Then, the attacker will sends the repeated data to the clients.

How it works?
It works by replaying the authentication messages from the sender to the receiver.
A packet replay occurs when unauthorized user captures network traffic and then sends the communication to the original receiver which the unauthorized user acts as the original sender.


How to prevent?
Create timestamps where it allows the authentication system to accept only the appropriate timestamps of network packets. So, if the timestamp reach beyond a certain time, then the packet will be discarded.
