Eric has discovered a fantastic package of tools named Dsniff on the Internet. He has learnt to use these tools in his lab and is now ready for real world exploitation. He was able to effectively inte

'Interceptor' is not a recognized standard attack classification; the complete described behavior - interception, credential establishment with both sides, and transparent relay - maps precisely to the man-in-the-middle category.

A man-in-the-middle attack involves an attacker establishing independent connections with each communicating party and relaying traffic between them so neither detects the intrusion. Dsniff tools such as sshmitm and webmitm achieve exactly this by intercepting credentials and session data while maintaining transparent communication with both endpoints.

ARP Proxy is a legitimate network technique where a router answers ARP requests on behalf of another host to enable routing, and is not itself an attack classification for this scenario.

A poisoning attack such as ARP or DNS poisoning describes only the technique used to redirect traffic toward the attacker, not the overall attack being conducted once that position is established.
