Re: Good luck with that.. said by ke4pym:With the right hardware, it is trival to crack SSL traffic. Man in the middle attacks are pretty easy when you're the ISP. I think it will be interesting to see how many people VirginMedia ultimately kick off their network and if there is any impact to that division's bottom line. Modern encryption is not at all easy to crack. What you refer to as "Man in the middle attacks" requires a highly selective circumstance, which I do not think applies here |

i agree, with the amount of packets that pass through the ISP's network and a cracking time much larger than real time, SSL of sufficient key size is still secure. from what i've found 40-bit keys for ssl isn't that secure, but nearly all keys now are 128-bit for ssl, so good luck cracking that. |

| That works by being the go between and grabbing the ssl key then passing it on. Easily defeated by tunneling  . I should know , I do it daily.
