If I'm on the same network, it is possible to have a MITM attack and resolve the content of the SSL cert.
Resolve the content of the SSL cert? Sounds like something the CSI writers would say...
No, SSL is actually very good in preventing MITM attacks. That's what alle the CAs are for you trust on your device.

You can ARP spoof a network and also serve spoofed certs resulting in the ability to resolve them. But I can see, if your not an expert, it's hard to see the difference between reality and Navy CIS
Sorry, but no. Resolve certs? Seriously?
I don't care anyway if you wanna start the not an expert argument. What you linked doesn't work either in the modern web so... No, I am out.
