You use webmitm[1] or ettercap[2] to get the traffic. Sure users will get a cert warning, but you are going to at least catch a few people that click through it.

Amusingly the general classes of "users who leave default passwords" and "users who click through a warning" are going to have a big intersection.


Well done, sir. Even so, I think once a user is shown a cert warning it becomes their problem, not the site owner's(in the sense of who's responsible that is). When it comes to security, everyone has their part to play.
