Correct Answer: B
CEH v13 identifies Man-in-the-Browser (MitB) attacks as one of the most dangerous and difficult-to-detect session hijacking techniques, especially in online banking environments. In MitB attacks, malware operates inside the user's browser, intercepting and manipulating transactions in real time.
Unlike XSS or session fixation attacks, MitB bypasses server-side security controls entirely. Even strong encryption, multi-factor authentication, and secure cookies are ineffective because the attack occurs after authentication, within a trusted session.
Passive sniffing is limited by encryption, and session fixation relies on poor session management. Covert XSS requires injection points and is more easily mitigated.
CEH v13 emphasizes that MitB attacks can modify transaction details without user awareness, making detection extremely difficult. Therefore, Option B is correct.
