SSL stripping is an attack technique that downgrades a secure HTTPS connection to an unencrypted HTTP connection, allowing attackers to intercept and manipulate the data being transmitted. This type of attack exploits the fact that many users may not notice when their browser has switched from a secure to an insecure connection, leading to potential data theft or exposure. By intercepting communication between the client and server, attackers can capture sensitive information such as passwords and credit card numbers.
