!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] (also known as playback [exploit]) is a form of network [exploit] in which a valid data transmission is maliciously or fraudulently repeated or delayed. [{$pagename}] is carried out either by the originator or by an [Attacker] who __intercepts__ the data and re-transmits it, possibly as part of a masquerade attack by [IP] packet substitution.

!! [Use case]
Suppose [Alice] wants to prove her identity to [Bob]. [Bob] requests her [password] as [proof of identity|Authentication], which [Alice] dutifully provides (possibly after some transformation like a hash function); meanwhile, [Eve] is eavesdropping on the conversation and keeps the [password] (or the hash). After the interchange is over, [Eve] (posing as [Alice]) connects to [Bob]; when asked for a [proof of identity|Authentication], [Eve] sends [Alice]'s password (or hash) read from the last session, which [Bob] accepts thus granting access to [Eve].
