Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When the data transmissions are intercepted and recorded by an attacker, then replayed to gain access. This attack is called:
A
Man-in-the-Middle
B
Replay
C
SYN Flood
D
Spoofing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A replay attack occurs when a cybercriminal eavesdrops on a secure network communication, intercepts it, and then fraudulently delays or resends it to misdirect the receiver into doing what the hacker wants.

Detailed explanation-2: -A man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack is a type of cyber attack in which the attacker secretly intercepts and relays messages between two parties who believe they are communicating directly with each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interception attacks allow unauthorized users to access our data, applications, or environments, and are primarily an attack against confidentiality.

Detailed explanation-4: -Replay attack would be to capture the command and just send it again to open the door again, without knowing what the command is (encrypted) or knowing how to sign it (it is already signed). Reflection attack is using the target to authenticate its own challenge.

Detailed explanation-5: -We’ll discuss four types of most widely used replay attacks: network, wireless, session, and HTTP replay attacks. In network replay attacks, the attacker intercepts network traffic and then resends it at a later time. This can be done using tools like Wireshark or tcpdump.
