Are there common exploits for man-in-the-middle?  I've never seen one.

I've seen rootkits, crackers, DoS tools, etc.  But never anything as
sophisticated as mitm.

This is different from mitm.  Scanning and trying rootkits is trivial.
mitm is not.  It's a different kind of attack.  It's probably one of the
most sophisticated, and the most dangerous if pulled off in the right
situations.
