Come spend a day of high adventure with one of the lead developers from The Middler project. We'll dig into the foundational principals of MitM attacks and get our hands dirty with the latest features buried in the SVN tree of The Middler. After exploring The Middler's built in plugins, we'll put your lashing skills to the test. Using nothing but your favorite web-app pocket knifes and our favorite Python twine, you'll set to work building your own backwood plugins for The Middler. To do this, we'll work as a team to whittle down popular website trees to find their inner rings. Then you'll use that ancient wood to build your own set of woodsman's tools; tools that will help you trap, clean, skin, and tan those poor unsuspecting pentest targets.
