ECSA v10: EC-Council Certified Security Analyst v10Demo

An attacker set out to compromise an organization’s network switches and steal confidential information, such as network subscriber details and passwords. The attacker began transmitting data from one switch to another by creating and sending two 802.1Q tags: one for the attacking switch and another for the victim switch. By sending these frames, the attacker tricks the victim switch into believing that the frame is intended for it. The target switch then forwards the frame to the victim port.

Identify the type of attack the attacker is performing.
