Wait. This is a DHCP exploit on steroids. The MITM stuff is just possible because operating systems accept bonkers DHCP replies.

Yeah, the DHCP trick is what allows this particular method of conducting MITM via USB.

All the stuff it does _after_ becoming a MITM though are things that any MITM could do, regardless of how they became a MITM in the first place. (ARP spoofing, operating or compromising a Wi-Fi access point, etc.)
