MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1040 Network Sniffing Credential Access
Adversaries may passively sniff network traffic to capture information about an environment, including authentication material passed over the network.

T1552.001 Credentials In Files Credential Access
Adversaries may search local file systems and remote file shares for files containing insecurely stored credentials.

T1557 Adversary-in-the-Middle Credential Access
Adversaries may attempt to position themselves between two or more networked devices using an adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) technique to support follow-on behaviors such as [Network Sniffing](https://attack.

Why these techniques?

Plaintext transmission of sensitive information (credentials, control data, URLs, firmware) enables network sniffing (T1040) and adversary-in-the-middle attacks (T1557); hardcoded plaintext credentials in firmware facilitate unsecured credential access (T1552.001).
