An HTTPS Bicycle Attack refers to a method of discovering password length on packets encrypted with TLS/SSL protocols.
In preparation for a bicycle attack, the attacker must load the target page to compute the sizes of headers in the request made by a given web browser to the server. Once the attacker intercepts and browser fingerprints a victim's request, the length of the password can be deduced by subtracting known header lengths from the total length of the request. The term was first coined
