+Browserman, the tool to make MITM attacks on browsers more interesting.
+Because people still think making a form that was served over HTTP submit
+to an HTTPS URL makes stuff secure.
+
+This software consists of two components:
+
+ - the hoxy part injects a <script> tag (or three, to be precise) into every
+   http page that goes through it (it's a transparent proxy)
+ - the jssrv part handles everything afterwards
+
+Getting the requests through the transparent evil proxy in the first place is
+your job.
