Re: SSL and TCP RST/SYN attack

Hello David,

It's not a vulnerability or configuration issue related to SSL.

Man in the middle attack works when attackers spoofs ip address of another system(usually a getway) and then sees all 
the traffic from the victim system to the gateway..

Port security can be the solution to prevent Man in the middle attacks..
