This is quite a generic description, mostly because ( if we're talking about network MITM attacks ), the logic and details heavily rely on the technique being used ( more in the spoofing section ). This is straightforward in many circumstances for example, an attacker within reception range of an unencrypted Wi - Fi wireless access point, can insert himself as a man - in - the - middle. The attacker must be able to intercept all relevant messages passing between the two victims and inject new ones. One example of man - in - the - middle attacks is active eavesdropping, in which the attacker makes independent connections with the victims and relays messages between them to make them believe they are talking directly to each other over a private connection, when in fact the entire conversation is controlled by the attacker. A man - in - the - middle attack is a similar strategy and can be used against many cryptographic protocols. She plays the entire game this way and cannot lose. When the second grandmaster responds, Mallory makes the same play against the first. She waits for the first grandmaster to make a move and then makes this same move against the second grandmaster. Mallory, who barely knows how to play chess, claims that she can play two grandmasters simultaneously and either win one game or draw both. Man - in - the - middle attacks can be thought about through a chess analogy. In cryptography and computer security, a man - in - the - middle attack ( often abbreviated to MITM, MitM, MIM, MiM attack or MITMA ) is an attack where the attacker secretly relays and possibly alters the communication between two parties who believe they are directly communicating with each other.
