New Tricks for Defeating SSL in Practice (sslstrip & null-prefix certificates)

Black Hat DC 2009 deck introducing sslstrip: rather than attacking TLS, a MITM rewrites https links and 302s in passing HTTP traffic, strips secure cookies and content encodings, and serves a padlock favicon. It reports 117 email accounts and 16 card numbers captured in 24 hours, then combines the trick with IDN look-alike slashes under a wildcard certificate.
