During a successful man-in-the-middle attack, which two of the following actions is an attacker most likely to perform?

• Eavesdrop on traffic passing between hosts
• Induce a buffer overflow on multiple hosts
• Modify data passing between hosts
• Use ping sweeps and port scans to discover the network

Explanation: Once an attacker is in position in a man-in-the-middle attack, traffic between hosts can be passively inspected and actively modified. This type of attack does not lend itself to inducing buffer overflows or using sweeps and scans.
