In this paper, we examined the effect on network performance of the various strategies an attacker could adopt to launch Man-In The Middle (MITM) attacks on the wireless network, such as fleet or random strategies. In particular, we're focusing on some of those goals for MITM attackers - message delay, message dropping. According to simulation data, these attacks have a significant effect on legitimate nodes in the network, causing vast amounts of infected packets, end-to-end delays, and significant packet loss.
