Understanding Man-in-the-middle-attack through Survey of Literature
Open accessAbstract
These days cyberattack is a serious criminal offense and it is a hotly debated issue moreover. A man-in-the-middle-attack (MITM) is a kind of cyberattack where an unapproved outsider enters into an online correspondence between two users, remains escaped the two parties. The malware that is in the middle-attack often monitors and changes individual/classified information that was just realized by the two users. A man-in-the-middle-attack as a protocol is subjected to an outsider inside the system, which can access, read and change secret information without keeping any tress of manipulation. This issue is intense, and most of the cryptographic systems without having a decent authentication security are threatened to be hacked by the malware named MITM. This paper essentially includes the view of understanding the term of MITM; the current work is mainly emphasized to accumulate related data/information in a single article so that it can be a reference to conduct research further on this topic at college/undergraduate level. This paper likewise audits most cited research and survey articles on MITM recorded on 'Google Scholar'. The result showed that the MITM has correlation to the user behavior, in which this must be considered and careful understood for the way how to solve this problem. The motivation behind this paper is to help the readers for understanding and familiarizing the topic 'man-in-the-middle attack'.

In the citing paper
“There are several types of MITM attacks, and the man-in-the-browser variant injects malicious software into the victim’s computer or mobile device through phishing. Upon clicking on a phishing e-mail link or opening the attachment, the user loads the malware, and the malware installs itself on the browser without the user’s knowledge. The malware enables the attacker to capture the information”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
