What is bucket bridge attack and how it is different from man in the middle attack?

A bucket bridge attack is a type of network attack where an attacker exploits a flaw in the way network protocols handle session management, allowing them to intercept and manipulate data between two parties without direct access to their communication channel. Unlike a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, where the attacker directly intercepts and relays communications between two parties, a bucket bridge attack relies on creating a false session or exploiting existing session tokens to gain unauthorized access. Essentially, while both attacks involve interception, the mechanisms and methods used to achieve that interference differ.
