Network Attacker Model
In the network attacker model the attacker can read and modify unencrypted traffic between the victim and
bank.com, typically by luring the victim onto a network the attacker controls. They can also connect to the server directly.Network attackers are usually the most powerful of the three web threat models, but a same-site attacker with a valid TLS certificate can sometimes exceed that power. The standard defence against a network attacker is HTTPS, which hides the content and detects modification.
