meeep .... wrong.

SSL doesn't ward off attacks. Some worms that don't use SSL may not be
able to get you, but SSL does nothing for security vulnerabilities, i.e.
it doesn't make you not vulnerable against Unicode et. al.

You can still run exploits over SSL and hack a box. One just needs to
rig the attack scripts to use SSL, that's all. Don't think that because
you are using SSL, you are secure.

Frank
