Quality Assurance & Testing
Performing SSL Stripping Attack
The skill simulates SSL stripping and HTTPS downgrade attacks with sslstrip, Bettercap, and mitmproxy in controlled lab settings. It evaluates HSTS enforcement, certificate validation, and HTTPS upgrade mechanisms, allowing penetration testers to confirm HSTS preloading and TLS handling. Security teams use the results to demonstrate downgrade risks to stakeholders and train SOC analysts to recognize SSL stripping indicators in network traffic.
