The Internet is not a secure place by default. Many early network protocols were designed without security in mind and transmit data, including passwords, in plain text. Because of this, tools that capture network traffic and extract sensitive information are commonly used by malicious attackers. Any application that sends unencrypted passwords over the network is therefore highly vulnerable. In addition, many client-server applications trust the client to identify users correctly or limit their own actions. If a client is compromised or modified, this trust can easily be abused, allowing unauthorized …
