[CS-FSLUG] OT: "How the NSA, and your boss, can intercept and break SSL"

[Don Parris]

One of the sessions I just sat in at the SouthEast Linux Fest this past
weekend involved a guy hijacking our wi-fi connections.  And then he
mentioned the ability to use ssl-strip to intercept SSL connections.  And
he wasn't even talking about the government - just connecting to facebook
from Starbucks can attract unwanted company.
