The objective of the TCP Session Hijacking attack is to hijackan existing TCP connection (i.e., session) between two victims byinjecting malicious contents into this session. If this connectionis a telnet session, attackers can inject malicious commands (e.g.,deleting an important file) into this session, causing the victimsto execute the malicious commands. In order for the TCP SessionHijacking attack to succeed, the source IP address, destination IPaddress, source port number, and destination port number of themalicious packet must match those of an existing TCP session on thetarget machine. Moreover, the sequence number of the maliciouspacket must also be correct and accepted by the target receiver.Based on what you have learnt from the labs, describe how we canlaunch the TCP Session Hijacking attack.
