    This site contains a article
    about a developed device by NSA for breaking ssl,
    but security experts also feeling similar techniques will be used by hackers ,The biggest issue we need to look is the law enforcing authorities having certificates from the respective Certificate authorities,I don't know how they managed to get those ,So as they are using the similar certificates from the certificate authorities ,No tools like AV'S ,IDS,IPS or any other tools can not able to detect the malicious or fake certificate,..Because they are using the similar certificates from the Certificate authorities,...

    Even tough it is bit old,I do believe it is worth to know,Because i didn't see a dedicated device for computer hacking in my life

    Also I found out this fantastic paper about

    " Detecting and Defeating Government
    Interception Attacks Against SSL"

    mandi check out hak5's pineapple v2, well worth a look up if your into wifi/network security.

    Although instead of paying what they're asking for it, it's simple enough to install the software/firmware once you have the right router. Jasager is an amazing tool if used properly.
