By the way, I've performed full man-in-the-middle with a real bank
involved and myselft as victim. It's easy and works perfectly, so I've put
a brief description and screenshots at http://arch.ipsec.pl/inteligo.html
Details on programs' setup and fake certificate generation are omitted
not to provide script-kiddies with a ready recipe.

Actually, you can use Mike's https://www.thoughtcrime.org/ as demo
site but you first need to DNS spoof your browser into thinking
that www.amazon.com has address of 66.93.78.63, which is easy using
dnsspoof from dsniff for example.
