[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1041675, member: 52014"] Yes, the answer "Man-in-The-Middle" is correct. Here's why: An Evil Twin attack creates a fake wireless access point that appears to be a legitimate one. When people connect to it, the attacker can intercept and manipulate their data traffic, leading to many consequences such as identity theft or data breaches. The attack is called "Man-in-The-Middle" because the attacker is positioned between the victim and the actual access point, which allows them to intercept all traffic and look like they are a legitimate participant in the communication exchange. Essentially, the attacker is able to see and modify everything that passes through the fake access point thanks to the MITM technique. So, in short, an Evil Twin router attack is a type of Man-in-The-Middle attack. [/QUOTE]
