🕵️ Live Network Security Audit: HTTP Analysis

📌 Project Overview

This project demonstrates the security risks associated with unencrypted web traffic on a mobile hotspot environment. I captured live traffic from my host machine to analyze how data is transmitted across the network.

🛠️ Technical Breakdown

• Network Interface: Wi-Fi (Mobile Hotspot)
• Host IP: 192.168.77.225
• Target: neverssl.com (34.223.124.45)

🔍 Key Findings

1. Cleartext Exposure: By following the TCP Stream, I reconstructed the full HTTP request. All headers, including User-Agent and Host, were visible in plain text.
2. Compression vs Encryption: The capture revealed Content-Encoding: gzip. This confirms the data was compressed for speed but lacked TLS encryption, making it vulnerable to interception.
