Description: This demonstration of the attack BEAST shows it is possible to decrypt the cookie to an HTTPS because of the CBC mode of SSLv3.0/TLS1.0. In this video, it decrypts the header completely to retrieve the cookie. We optimize the decryption using the fact that we know some parts of the header (eg User-Agent).
Stages of the attack:
1 - The attacker is in MITM. It provides a website containing a malicious Java applet.
2 - The Target visit a website made available on my local network via a channel SSL / TLS. The target gets a session cookie. The cookie is not passed in clear text over the network but in the secure channel ... Target has recovered a session cookie and it is stored in their browser. The attacker wants the cookie.
4 - The target visit the attacker's malicious site and load the Java applet.
5 - The attacker decrypts the header and retrieves the session cookie of Target

when this attack discovered. After that ssl certificate company stopped for awhile.

this attack exploit the way that block ciphers are used in SSL/TLS.
very informative things.
thanks
could you tell how can i exploit/demonstrate Beast attack in affected protocols ? Is there any framework for it? could you provide the exploit used for demonstrating beast attack as in video or any alternative to do that .
thanks.
