Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A replay attack involves the attacker intercepting and eavesdropping on a communication between two parties and then replaying that same communication in order to gain unauthorized access or cause harm. This is similar to a passive man-in-the-middle attack, where the attacker intercepts and eavesdrops on the communication, but does not actively modify or disrupt it. Hijacking and denial of service attacks are different types of attacks, and buffer overflow attacks involve exploiting vulnerabilities in software rather than intercepting communications.
