Episode 167: TLS and SSL vulnerabilities - do they matter?
About this episode
You've got Tyler & Brad and In this episode, we break down the early versions of Transport Layer Security (TLS) — TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 — and explain why these once-standard encryption protocols are now considered insecure. We’ll cover when they were released, how modern attacks and cryptographic weaknesses caught up with them, and why today’s internet relies on newer, more secure protocols like TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3.
We’ll also discuss how even “secure” protocols can become vulnerable when weak ciphers are enabled, using Sweet32 as a real-world example of cipher-level risk.
