I’m a bit confused; I thought social engineering was more about manipulating people rather than directly taking over a session.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about how dictionary attacks are more about cracking passwords rather than taking over sessions.

Okay, I've got it. Session Hijacking is the technique that allows an attacker to take over an existing connection. That's the answer I'm going with.

Session Hijacking seems like the most likely answer here. That's when an attacker takes control of an active session between a client and server.
