Welcome to SSLFail!
Lately there seems to be a lot of SSL discussion, and not just the recently released ‘Rogue CA‘ presentation. There have been speakers at several cons, blog posts, and conversations lately around the subject of SSL.
Marcin and I were discussing some of the recent failures that we’ve seen and that others have mentioned and decided that we needed a place to bring all of these together, to point out that companies are failing at SSL. Marcin suggested mismatched.com, however the domain was already taken and as I typed in random things, I stumbled across the availability of SSLFail.com. It seemed to work well, so I registered it and 24 hours later here we are.
One of my coworkers, Jay, spends a lot of time playing with SSL… both at work and on his own. So naturally when the thought of blogging about SSL came to mind, so did his name. I pinged him and sure enough, he was interested.
So here we are, the three of us (for now). I invite anyone interested in writing here to contact us.
Enjoy,
Tyler.
