Taking over a legitimate TCP (transmission Control Protocol) connection.

The TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) session state is altered in a way that intercepts legitimate packets and allows a third party host to insert acceptable packets. Thus hijacking the conversation, and continuing the conversation under the disguise of the legitimate party, and taking advantage of the trust bond.
