It provides a review of common attack types like ARP cache poisoning and DNS spoofing, which is incremental as it synthesizes existing knowledge without introducing new solutions.
This paper surveys man-in-the-middle attacks in communication networks and protection methods, noting that timing information can help detect such attacks in real-time scenarios.
This paper presents a survey of man-in-the-middle (MIM) attacks in communication networks and methods of protection against them. In real time communication, the attack can in many situations be discovered by the use of timing information. The most common attacks occur due to Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache poisoning, DNS spoofing, session hijacking, and SSL hijacking.
