Which of the following attacks targets the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)?

A.
Man-in-the middle

B.
Dictionary

C.
Password sniffing

D.
Phishing

Explanation:
Attackers can establish a fake Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) server to accept user’s SSL traffic and then route to
the real SSL server, so that sensitive information can be discovered. A dictionary attack that has been launched
to discover passwords would not attack SSL since SSL does not rely on passwords. SSL traffic is encrypted,
thus it is not possible to sniff the password. A phishing attack targets a user and not SSL Phishing attacks
attempt to have the user surrender private information by falsely claiming to be a trusted person or enterprise.
