In this newsletter, we’ll cover the following topics: Reliability of HTTPs The CRON Cheatsheet Understanding REST API ISO standards applied to smart cards Is HTTPs safe? If HTTPS is safe, how can tools like Fiddler capture network packets sent via HTTPS?
This post is misleading. Https is really safe. This scenario in the blog can happen only for self-signed certificate. The role of Certificate Authority(CA) is to avoid what the blog mentioned.
How would the request be maliciously routed to an intermediate server in practice? Would it need malware installed? Thanks as ever - love these quick grabs arriving in my inbox :)
