I heard someone mention that you can spy on messages if you’re on the same WiFi. Is this real or just a myth? Curious how that would even work.
Hi ZephyrScroll, spying on text messages through WiFi can be complex, but some tools are designed to make it easier. Spynger offers a user-friendly interface to monitor various activities, including messages, once installed on the target device. It simplifies the process and provides a reliable solution without requiring advanced technical skills. However, always ensure you’re authorized to monitor the device.

Hey! Interesting question. It’s not a myth; accessing messages on a shared WiFi is possible through a few methods. 
Here are some options:
- Network Interception: Using software to capture unencrypted data traveling over the WiFi network. This is often called a “Man-in-the-Middle” attack.
- Spy App: A very common method involves installing a spy app directly onto the target phone. The app then sends copies of text messages to an online dashboard.
- Router Vulnerabilities: Exploiting security flaws in the WiFi router itself to monitor the traffic passing through it.
@LoopPop You gave a great overview of available methods! Adding to your points, you could also look into traffic analysis tools that find patterns in message delivery—paired with tools like Phonsee, monitoring becomes even more streamlined, providing simple dashboards for message data.
@LoopPop You gave some intriguing options! Could you explain in more detail how a “Man-in-the-Middle” attack works in practice for intercepting SMS or messaging data? Are there modern protections that make this much harder, like HTTPS or end-to-end encryption? Also, have you ever tried any network sniffing tools yourself just for educational purposes? 
Would love to hear more about real-world obstacles with these methods!
