This type of attack may be used to steal the passwords of unsuspecting users by either snooping the communication link or by phishing, which involves setting up a fraudulent web site and luring people there.

An evil twin is a fraudulent Wi-Fi access point that appears to be legitimate but is set up to eavesdrop on wireless communications.[1] The evil twin is the wireless LAN equivalent of the phishing scam. This type of attack may be used to steal the passwords of unsuspecting users, either by monitoring their connections or by phishing, which involves setting up a fraudulent web site and luring people there.[2]

Jamming attacks are perhaps the simplest types of attacks a control system may face, but they can be very dangerous. Generating a jamming attack does not require information about the internals of the control system. By simply emitting an interference signal, a jamming attacker can effectively block the communication on a wireless channel, disrupt the normal operation, cause performance issues, and even damage the control system.

A collision attack finds two identical values among elements that are chosen according to some distribution on a finite set S. In cryptography, one typically assumes that the objects are chosen according to a uniform distribution. In most cases a repeating value or collision results in an attack on the cryptographic scheme.
