Hacktool:Powershell/Inveigh is a type of hacking tool that is used to perform network-based man-in-the-middle attacks and gather sensitive information from network traffic. It is typically deployed by cybercriminals to intercept and steal data, such as usernames and passwords, from unsuspecting users on a network.
Hacktool:Powershell/Inveigh infects computers by exploiting vulnerabilities in the network infrastructure or by being manually installed by an attacker who has gained unauthorized access to the system. Once installed, it runs in the background and begins intercepting network traffic, allowing the attacker to eavesdrop on communications and steal sensitive information.
To protect against Hacktool:Powershell/Inveigh and similar threats, it is important to keep software and systems up to date with the latest security patches, use strong passwords, and employ network security measures such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems. Regularly monitoring network traffic and conducting security audits can also help detect and mitigate potential threats from tools like Hacktool:Powershell/Inveigh.
