I agree that people running the network have the right to run it as they want.
But if an attack can work on you using my network, it is also an attack that works on me surreptitiously rerouting your traffic onto my network. Basically undoing HTTPS.
- Spooky23 10y agoThe scope is broader than an attack. Also, what I'm talking about (MITM proxy on a private network), it's not sneaky -- you will get unsigned cert warnings. If you are using an employers device, you won't see warnings, but can examine the SSL certificate. You should also assume that you are being monitored.
- bigiain 10y ago"you will get unsigned cert warnings" No you wont. Bluecoat now has a CA Cert root key signed by Symantec. If they issue a .google.com or .gmail.com ssl cert you will _not_ get an unsigned cert warning. And explain to me how to connect to, say, my internet banking without using "a private network"? Every single hop between my house(or my phone) and my bank is a piece of network owned by some company or other. "Use your own network" is meaningless in the context of connecting to any hardware you don't own yourself.
