Is that new term used commonly enough to be easily recognizable? MITM is a commonly used reference to a type of attacks and easily recognized as such, but this use of PITM was one of the first times I've seen this new term being used.. The attacks that are being referred to here do not really need a person in the position, i.e., it could as well be a device controlled by the attacker. In any case, I'd rather leave this as MITM to use the commonly used term for this or remove the MITM part completely if there is strong desire to get rid of the use of "MITM". -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
