a mitm attack occurs between two endpoints, whereas a mitb attack occurs between a browser and web server.
a mitm attack occurs between two endpoints, whereas a mitb attack occurs between a browser and underlying computer.

question 24
which of the following can prevent macros attacks?
vba
protected view
private dns server
powershell

Explanation:

1. For the first question about MITM and MITB: A man - in - the - middle (MITM) attack occurs between two endpoints, intercepting and potentially modifying communication. A man - in - the - browser (MITB) is a type of malware that operates between the browser and the underlying computer, often used to steal information. Option B correctly differentiates them.
2. For the second question about preventing macros attacks: Protected view in applications like Microsoft Office can prevent macros from running automatically, reducing the risk of macros attacks. Macros are often used in malicious ways, and protected view restricts their execution until the user explicitly allows it.

Answer:

1. B. A MITM attack occurs between two endpoints, whereas a MITB attack occurs between a browser and underlying computer.
2. B. Protected view
