CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 708

Which of the following most likely occurs when an attacker is between the target and a legitimate server?

Answer options

• A. IP spoofing
• B. VLAN hopping
• C. Rogue DHCP
• D. On-path attack

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as an on-path attack involves an attacker intercepting communication between two parties. Options A, B, and C refer to different types of attacks that do not specifically involve being in the middle of a communication flow, thus making them incorrect in this context.
