DNS poisoning is a MITM vector; in fact, it's the most popular MITM vector.

Really? I thought MitM was always intercepting/manipulating traffic from or to the victim.

What you wrote is the definition of MITM.

Op and others are saying DNS poisoning is a popular way of achieving that goal.

Oh you mean that it's a popular way of initiating the interception part of MitM, got it.
