TheCCST Cybersecurity Study Guidedescribes aman-in-the-middle (MITM)attack as an attack where the adversary secretly intercepts and possibly alters communications between two parties, making them believe they are communicating directly. A rogue AP configured to pass traffic through itself before sending it on is a classic wireless MITM method.
"In a MITM attack, the attacker places themselves between the sender and receiver, intercepting and possibly altering data in transit. Rogue access points can facilitate MITM attacks in wireless environments."
Ais incorrect: Reconnaissance is information gathering, not active interception.
Bis correct: This is a wireless MITM attack.
Cis incorrect: DDoS aims to overwhelm a service, not intercept data.
Dis incorrect: Ransomware encrypts data for extortion.
