Hello, i have a mkv that i have had laying around for a while so i decided to get into trying it out. I am currently studying computer science but have only worked in windows. I understand this device is just a linux box with software on it. I have been trying to do MiM attacks on myself but i have noticed that SSLstrip only works on a site without HTTPS. That is most websites.. Is there a way around this? if not, what else can this box do?
