  text: "TLS-Attacker is an open-source framework for analyzing Transport\r\nLayer
    Security (TLS) implementations. The framework allows users\r\nto specify custom
    protocol flows and provides modification hooks to\r\nmanipulate message contents.
    Since its initial publication in 2016 by\r\nJuraj Somorovsky, TLS-Attacker has
    been used in numerous studies\r\npublished at well-established conferences and
    helped to identify\r\nvulnerabilities in well-known open-source TLS libraries.
    To enable\r\nautomated analyses, TLS-Attacker has grown into a suite of projects,\r\neach
    designed as a building block that can be applied to facilitate\r\nvarious analysis
    methodologies. The framework still undergoes\r\ncontinuous improvements with feature
    extensions, such as DTLS\r\n1.3 or the addition of new dialects such as QUIC,
    to continue its\r\neffectiveness and relevancy as a security analysis framework."
