ANALISIS KEAMANAN WEBSITE TERHADAP ERANGAN PACKET SNIFFING DI JURUSAN TEKNIK INFORMATIKA DAN KOMPUTER FAKULTAS TEKNIK UNIVERSITAS NEGERI MAKASSAR

Abstract

 The Department of Informatics and Computer Engineering has several websites specially made for JTIK students with their respective benefits, such as SIMPEL, SIM-TA, IDS (Integrated Data System), Sigmatik, and SIPI. This research aims to determine the level of vulnerability to packet sniffing attacks on websites at the Department of Information and Computer Engineering, Makassar State University. This research method uses a qualitative approach by testing sniffing attacks on several Users on the targeted website. The results of the analysis of packet sniffing attack trials show that there is a potential vulnerability to data theft attempts through sniffing attack methods on wireless networks on several websites studied. In this context, the SIMPEL, IDS, and SIMTA websites can be considered relatively safe websites. In test attacks against multiple Hotspots, Users, and devices, no information could be found other than confirmation that the website was encrypted using appropriate security protocols. In reverse, the Sigmatik and SIPI websites showed a higher level of vulnerability. Sensitive data such as Usernames and passwords used during the login process can be visible in test attacks. It happens because the Sigmatik and SIPI websites still use the insecure HTTP protocol, while the SIM-TA, SIMPEL and other websites have switched to the more secure TLS/SSL or HTTPS protocol. An important recommendation resulting from this research is the need to design a monitoring and detection system that can quickly recognize potential packet sniffing attacks. It is hoped that this research can become the basis for increasing awareness and efforts on website security in the academic environment and can be applied to a broader context in the digital world
