What Are the Different Types of MEV Attacks besides Front-Running?

Besides front-running, common MEV attacks include "sandwich attacks" and "back-running." A sandwich attack involves a front-runner placing an order immediately before and another immediately after a target transaction to profit from the resulting price movement. Back-running is placing a transaction immediately after a target transaction to profit from the state change it causes, often through arbitrage.
