Unless you breach it somehow, you can only do denial-of-service, not a true man-in-the-middle.
- NateLawson 16y agoNo, all encryption modes in SSL also use some kind of integrity protection (MAC, usually). So SSL gets you privacy in that the message you send is encrypted and authentication in that only the endpoint could have transmitted that exact message. You modify the packets of an SSL session and your data is discarded.
