To clarify, this is only showing how to use tools to execute an ARP
spoofing attack. There are other methods to launch a man-in-the-middle
attack such as DNS spoofing. It's even possible to launch a physical
MitM attack! One of my favorite examples of MitM attacks is the
Aspidistra radio station used in a MitM attack during World War II.
For information about what a MitM attack is in general as well as other
examples, take a look at
