Hi,
In some common MITM the attacker spoofs it original mac address like
in ARP poisioning.But changing ip is not that easy.

Thanks everyone who read and answer my question.

Given a scenario as below:

When someone wants to launch a man-in-the-middle attack on the
communication between the client and server. In order to make it more
transparent(hard to discover) can the attacker pretended to has the same
IP address as the server(when handling the communication with client
end) while pretending to has the same IP address as the client(when
handling the communication with server end). If it is possible, can you
tell me your solutions.

This is not used to generate real attacks, it is just a concern I come
cross when designing a communication system.

Thanks a lot.
