Description-en: SSL/TLS man-in-the-middle attack tool
sslsniff is designed to create man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks for
SSL/TLS connections, and dynamically generates certs for the domains
that are being accessed on the fly. The new certificates are constructed
in a certificate chain that is signed by any certificate that is
provided.
sslsniff also supports other attacks like null-prefix or OCSP attacks to
achieve silent interceptions of connections when possible.
