Alice & Bob are usually communicating, and Eve is usually a *passive* eavesdropper, while Mallory can actively *modify* the message (malleable?).
Is there a personification of random *noise* ? I was considering "Maxwell" (for Maxwell's Demon); are there any other names in normal use for an attacker that simply injects random noise?
Is there a standard name for a MITM attacker?
