HTTP over SSL/TLS (HTTPS): 443

Security Weaknesses:

  • Vulnerable to outdated or misconfigured TLS versions.

  • Susceptible to attacks like BEAST, POODLE, and Heartbleed.

  • Compromised certificate authorities can lead to MITM attacks.

Security Defense and Mitigation Measures:

  • Enforce the use of modern TLS versions (TLS 1.2 and 1.3).

  • Regularly update and patch servers and TLS libraries.

  • Monitor and manage certificates using Certificate Transparency.

Indicators of Compromise or Attack:

  • Unexpected or expired TLS certificates.

  • Increased rate of TLS handshake failures.

  • Traffic anomalies despite encryption.
