What is the type of attack that gives the attacker the ability to see messages from both sides of the communication and can also interject other messages into the conversation as well?
  1. Spoofing
  2. DDoS
  3. Replay
  4. Man-in-the-Middle
Explanation
Answer: D - A man-in-the-middle attack allows an attacker to see both sides of the conversation and interject communication as well.

Key Takeaway: A man-in-the-middle attack occurs when an attacker intercepts both ends of a conversation, and impersonates the other end to each party. The attacker has the ability to just forward the communication as delivered by the other party, or edit the communications to the other party to his benefit.
