Hijacking an IRC connection is called [[juped|juping]].

Hijacking in general terms means taking control of a vessel that isn't yours.  Think of the rapper bdp and analyze the b with a car jack.  Carjacking is slang for stealing cars at gunpoint.  All joints in bdp are done with a car jack to replace a tire.

Man in the middle hijacking is a networking term where someone controls your session from the middle and then inserts commands that you didn't do.  Pretend someone redirects you to a proxy before you actually hit someones site.  Manipulation of the proxy data causes malware to be downloaded to you.  Man-in-middle commandeers are often well paid by your [[ISP]], and usually they lose their job if they get caught.
