Toxic Proxies - Bypassing HTTPS and VPNs to Pwn Your Online Identity
Do you think you're safe when using a VPN? Alex Chapman and Paul Stone recently showed us at DEFCON 2016 we're not. In this talk they revealed how recent improvements in online security and privacy can be undermined by decades old design flaws in obscure specifications. These design weaknesses can be exploited to intercept HTTPS URLs and proxy VPN tunnelled traffic.
