Cable Transmission Security

Cable transmission uses physical cables (coaxial, twisted-pair) to transmit signals, commonly used in cable TV, broadband internet, and local area networks. Security vulnerabilities include physical tapping, signal leakage, crosstalk, and infrastructure attacks. Cable networks often carry unencrypted or weakly encrypted traffic.

1. 1

   Identify target cable infrastructure

2. 2

   Locate accessible cable distribution points

3. 3

   Install physical tap or exploit leakage

4. 4

   Intercept and decode signals

5. 5

   Analyze network topology

6. 6

   Inject malicious signals

7. 7

   Exploit shared medium vulnerabilities

8. 8

   Maintain persistent access

• Implement cable encryption
• Deploy physical security
• Monitor for signal leakage
