What type of attack involves manipulating a system into using a less secure encryption protocol to then exploit weaker cryptographic implementation?
Man-in-the-middle attack
Replay attack
Downgrade attack
Buffer overflow attack
A downgrade attack is when an attacker forces a system to revert to a lesser, often outdated and less secure protocol, making the communication more susceptible to compromise. This differs from other attacks that do not aim to change the security protocol level but rather exploit existing vulnerabilities or capture data.
