HOW DOES A TCP RESET ATTACK WORK? A TCP reset attack is executed using a single packet of data, no more than a few bytes in size. A spoofed TCP segment, crafted and sent by an attacker, tricks two victims into abandoning a TCP connection, interrupting possibly vital communications between them.

A gentleman called Zoran Nikolic put together an unofficial PDF a decade or so ago, which you should absolutely read, but I believe that this is the first and only explanation of how the Synth1 works that you can click on and easily interact with. HOW DOES HTTPS ACTUALLY WORK? HTTPS is simply your standard HTTP protocol slathered with a generous layer of delicious SSL/TLS encryption goodness.
