    Not necessarily. The man-in-the-middle attack usually uses the same
    hardware that the sender and receiver use. The man-in-the-middle would
    receive the message in real space using a receiver similar to the
    destination end and would transmit the message in real space using a
    transmitter similar to the source end.
