The ISP in the middle riddle
Dear Mystere,
i move the discussion here if you don't mind
because I think we were off topic...
Ok but are we talking about technical feasibility
Is the ISP supposed to work like that? I think we are
degenerating on the "thin foil hat" side here.
Anyway thanks for the link and case closed for me
and for the sake of the OP.
This is a quote from the link:
--If your company has set up the proxy correctly you won't know anything is off because they'll have arranged to have the proxy's internal SSL certificate registered on your machine as a valid certificate. If not, you'll receive a pop-up error message, which, if you click on to continue, will accept the "fake" digital certificate. In either case, you get a secure connection to the proxy, it gets a secure connection to the outside site -- and everything sent over the proxy can be read in plain text. Whoops. --
What I understand is that someone has to put a fake certificate in my machine
for this to work, otherwise i'll receive a pop-up error message that warns me
that the identity of the site is not to be trusted.
If what I understand is wrong i'd ask you, or someone with more expertise than me,
to better explain to me in simple words ...
