Ettercap might be able to help you carry out an extensive forensic analysis that could pinpoint the issues leading to breaches inside the network. The causes that lead to attacks are usually found in faulty certificates or unsecured authentication processes. Typically, man-in-the-middle attacks occurs inside an unprotected network, with the attacker eavesdropping on various communication channels and purposely intercepting and scrambling the messages that are being sent between two or more parties.

It embeds a wide array of features that can analyze connections made within a network and report on the findings, so that the end-user is aware of such security breaches. Ettercap is a collection of libraries and tools that can work together in order to sniff live connections and dissect many protocols in order to overcome man-in-the-middle attacks.
