Descriptions CAPEC

An adversary injects traffic into the target's network connection. The adversary is therefore able to degrade or disrupt the connection, and potentially modify the content. This is not a flooding attack, as the adversary is not focusing on exhausting resources. Instead, the adversary is crafting a specific input to affect the system in a particular way.

Informations CAPEC

Prerequisites

The target application must leverage an open communications channel.
The channel on which the target communicates must be vulnerable to interception (e.g., adversary in the middle attack - CAPEC-94).

Resources Required

A tool, such as a MITM Proxy, that is capable of generating and injecting custom inputs to be used in the attack.

Related Weaknesses
