TCP/IP Hijacking is occurs when an attacker takes control of an ongoing session between a client and a server. This is similar in to a man-in-the-middle attack except that the rogue agent sends a reset request to the client so that the client loses contact with the server while the rogue system assumes the role of the legitimate client, continuing the session.

The solution to a number of the types of attack outlined above has involved the use of encryption. A mathematical attack involves the use of computation based on the mathematical properties of the encryption algorithm to attempt to decrypt data.
