From the conclusion: > We deployed these heuristics on three
diverse networks: > (1) Mozilla Firefox update servers, > (2) a set
of popular e-commerce sites, and > (3) the Cloudflare content
distribution network. > In each case, we find more than an order of
magnitude more interception than previously estimated, ranging
from 4–11%. > As a class, interception products drastically
reduce connection security. Most concerningly, 62% of traffic
that traverses a network middlebox has reduced security and
58% of middlebox connections have severe vulnerabilities. We
investigated popular antivirus and corporate proxies, finding that
nearly all reduce connection security and that many introduce
vulnerabilities (e.g., fail to validate certificates). |
