👉 The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) weapon refers to a type of attack that exploits vulnerabilities in SSL/TLS protocols, specifically targeting their handshake process to intercept and manipulate encrypted communications between a client and a server. Attackers can perform various malicious actions, such as downgrading the security protocol to a less secure one, injecting malicious content into the encrypted stream, or stealing sensitive data like login credentials and personal information. This is typically achieved by crafting specially designed SSL/TLS handshake requests or exploiting weaknesses in the protocol's implementation, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to secure connections.
