In a MITM scenario, injecting HTML code generally aims to achieve which outcome?

• A. It presents malicious content to users
• B. It hides the browser from users
• C. It strengthens encryption
• D. It speeds up page loads

Answer: (A)

In a MITM situation, HTML injection is used to alter what the user sees and interacts with, so the attacker can present content that looks legitimate but is actually malicious. By injecting HTML into the page as it travels from server to user, the attacker can insert fake login forms, scripts to steal credentials, or redirects to harmful sites, effectively fooling the user and compromising data or devices. This is why presenting malicious content to users is the primary goal of HTML injection in a MITM scenario. It isn’t about hiding the browser, strengthening encryption, or speeding up loads; those outcomes don’t align with the typical objective of injecting malicious HTML.
