Can a TCP connection be MitM attacked if already established?
I was wondering, if I have a Server that accepts TCP connections from clients, assuming the initial TCP connection is established without attackers, can the client assume that communication received on that socket is actually from the server? Thanks in advance.
No. At any point an interceptor can double proxy between you and the other side. It is also possible to hijack the connection completely and simulate the other side.

No.
