Network Attacks

DNS Cache Poisoning Attack: It works by tricking a DNS server into accepting a fake DNS record that will point you to a compromised DNS server

• It then feeds you fake DNS addresses when you try to access legitimate websites. ​
• Not only that, DNS cache poisoning can spread to other networks too

Meddler in the middle (formerly known as Man in the Middle): An attack that places the attacker in the middle of two hosts that think they’re communicating directly with each other

• Session hijacking (cookie hijacking): A common meddler in the middle attack
• Rogue Access Point (AP) Attack: An access point that is installed on the network without the network administrator’s knowledge
• Evil twin: The premise of an evil twin attack is for you to connect to a network that is identical to yours but that is controlled by an attacker. Once connected to it, they will be able to monitor your traffic
