Person-in-the-Middle (PITM) attacks
These types of attacks in wireless networks are based on attacking users rather than APs; this includes users who might have connected to open networks or our target networks anytime in the past. These attacks come in handy when we are targeting the users of an organization. Let's say we are targeting organization A, and we know an employee who goes to Starbucks at the end of the day to grab a cup of coffee, work on their emails, and open some of their internal organization's websites, perhaps for timesheet entry. So, rather than directly targeting the organization, we can target that user by probing the list of the organization's wireless network, and then capturing or monitoring the user's activity.
The following are some of the attacks that we can perform in our day-to-day red team activity:
