## What it is
A curated cheat sheet compiling known Man-In-The-Middle attacks across network layers (L2, L3, L4+, wireless), along with protection methods, attack tools, and practical tricks. It serves as a reference for penetration testers and defensive security teams.

## Use cases
- learn mitm attack techniques
- find tools for arp spoofing
- defend against man in the middle attacks
- reference for pentesting network attacks
- understand sslstrip and dns hijacking
- study dhcp and routing protocol spoofing

## When to choose
- you need a consolidated reference of MITM attack vectors and defenses
- you are a pentester or blue-teamer planning or mitigating network attacks
- you want tool recommendations per attack type

## When to avoid
- you need an executable tool rather than documentation
- you expect actively updated content - many sections are marked as in-progress
- you need formal training material with labs

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, networking
- domain: security, penetration-testing, networking
- platform: windows
- tags: mitm, cheatsheet, arp-spoofing, pentesting, network-attacks, documentation, linux, macos
