Question:
Which protocol is attacked when a cybercriminal provides an invalid gateway in order to create a man-in-the-middle attack?

  • DHCP
  • DNS
  • ICMP
  • HTTP or HTTPS

Explanation: A cybercriminal could set up a rogue DHCP server that provides one or more of the following:

  • Wrong default gateway that is used to create a man-in-the-middle attack and allow the attacker to intercept data
  • Wrong DNS server that results in the user being sent to a malicious website
  • Invalid default gateway IP address that results in a denial of service attack on the DHCP client
