If you overlook the misspelling in the manual, and think of manin as "man
in" insted, it will maybe make more sence. :-)
"man in the middle attack"
A person sitting between, two ( or more ) computers, may intercept the
data transmitted, and fool the computers. Let us say that computer a is
connecting to computer b via telnet. A man in the middle, might fool
computer a to think that his is computer b, and fool computer b to think
that he is computer a. Everything they send will then go via the man in
the middle, who's just forwarding the data, and saving a copy for him
self.
Hope this helps you.
