👉 A channel weapon is a type of cyber weapon that exploits vulnerabilities in network communication channels to intercept, manipulate, or disrupt data transmission. These weapons operate by injecting malicious code or traffic into legitimate communication paths, effectively creating "channels" through which they can eavesdrop on or alter data being exchanged between two parties. By targeting the underlying protocols and encryption mechanisms of these channels, channel weapons can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information. This makes them particularly insidious, as they can bypass traditional network security measures that focus solely on endpoint protection.
