Monsters in the Middle - Detecting HTTPS Interception

A couple of dudes from Cloudflare gave a really cool Black Hat presentation "Monsters in the Middleboxes: Building Tools for Detecting HTTPS Interception". Who would have thought that HTTPS inception was so prevalent? They even Open Sourced a detection tool. Here are the sound bytes from the presentation:

 

  1. TLS-terminating middleboxes pose serious threats to network security.
  2. Heuristics based on HTTP and TLS fingerprints can be effective at detecting HTTPS interception.
  3. The new open source tool and Cloudfare public dashboard provide new insights into the
    state of HTTPS interception on the Internet.

Now imagine, this within a smart building with 5G connectivity and IoT devices peppered all over the place, with fabric of the building or a Hospital.
