+sslstrip (HTTPS ssl stripping)
+
+This tool provides a demonstration of the HTTPS stripping attacks.
+It will transparently hijack HTTP traffic on a network, watch for
+HTTPS links and redirects, then map those links into either
+look-alike HTTP links or homograph-similar HTTPS links.
+
+requires: pyOpenSSL and python-twisted-web2 (which require pysetuptools,
+ zope.interface, and python-twisted)
