D) Session sniffing is about data, not IP. A is clear.

I feel like we had a question similar to this in our last mock exam, and I think it was also about IP address spoofing.

I’m a bit confused. I thought a Man-in-the-middle attack was more about intercepting data rather than changing an IP address.

I think the answer might be A) IP address spoofing, but I'm not entirely sure. It sounds familiar from our last practice session.
