--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract - The Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attack is one amongst the most documented attacks in pc security, representing one of the most important considerations for security professionals. MITM targets the particular information that flows between endpoints, and the confidentiality and integrity of the info itself. In this paper we overcome man in the middle attack in local file sharing systems by blocking the unauthorized user and preventing him to enter the network in future. Both the IP Address and the path of the attacker is completely blocked. As a result the attacker is reduced and the information is transmitted in a secure manner. The server keeps track of the IP Address of the attacker and notifies to the other servers in the organization to block the attacker IP Address. Keywords: Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attack, MITM defense techniques, MITM classification, security, DES (Data Encryption Standard), PNFS(Parallel Network File System).
1. INTRODUCTION The name Man-In-The-Middle is gotten from the ball situation where two players mean to pass a ball to each other, while one player between them tries to seize it. MITM assaults are some of the time alluded to as unit assaults on the other hand fire detachment assaults. MITM focuses on the real information that streams amongst endpoints, and the secrecy and uprightness of the information itself. MITM is an active eavesdropping attack where, in a communication between two devices A and B, the attacker receive A by pretending he is B. This means whenever A wants to send a message to B, it actually sends it to the attacker who read the message then forward it to B in order to make the communication still working. The attacker can read all the content of the communication including mails, images and passwords.

1.1. Methodology We used bottom-up approach so as to induce the higher understanding of the present standing of the MITM attack. Firstly, we have a tendency to reviewed most literature that mentions MITM attack, that was revealed no sooner than 2000. Then we have a tendency to began to classify articles, papers, books, supported used protocols, and theirs contribution (such as new science bar technique, or new detection approach). Later, we have a tendency to found that some approaches square measure modifications of a lot of older one, therefore we have a tendency to extended scope by as well as a lot of older literature. At now we have a tendency to began to specialize in the foremost mentioned attacks, and bar ways, and supported them we have a tendency to created main categorization of the MITM attack.
