Description-en: SSL/TLS man-in-the-middle attack tool
sslstrip is a tool that transparently hijacks HTTP traffic on a network, watch
for HTTPS links and redirects, and then map those links into look-alike HTTP
links or homograph-similar HTTPS links. It also supports modes for supplying a
favicon which looks like a lock icon, selective logging, and session
denial.
