clone

Clone.

       Cloning is the way toward creating hereditarily indistinguishable people of a living being either normally or falsely. In nature, numerous living beings produce clones through a bio genetic generation.

MITM Definition.

           In the process, the two original parties appear to communicate normally. The message sender does not recognize that the receiver is an unknown attacker trying to access or modify the message before re-transmitting to the receiver. Thus, the attacker controls the entire communication. This term is also known as janus attack or a fire brigade attack.

MITM in Cryptography.

           In cryptography and computer security, a man-in-the-middle attack (MITM) is an attack where the attacker secretly relays and possibly alters the communications between two parties who believe they are directly communicating with each other.

Example of MITM.

           MITM is named for a ball game where two people play catch while a third person in the middle attempts to intercept the ball. MITM is also known as a fire brigade attack, a term derived from the emergency process of passing water buckets to put out a fire.

HTTPS Connection.

          In an HTTPS connection, two independent SSL connections are established over each TCP connection. An MITM attack takes advantage of the weakness in network communication protocol, convincing the victim to route traffic through the attacker instead of normal router and is generally referred to as ARP spoofing.
