But what is the resource cost to spoof a connection? Very cheap for a teenager to sit at Starbucks and spoof your connection, but how much would it cost when using a fiber splitter at AT&T in order to MITM billions of connections per day?
- tptacek 16y agoIt would cost more to proxy a billion connections a day than to read them off the wire. But it would not cost so much more as to change the feasibility of the attack. At Internet scale, you may be talking about doubling the cost. Meanwhile, the proxy attack is the gold standard on the actual Internet we all use. Sniffers are obsolete.
