TLS alert (protocol version)

Also written: alert 70, alert number 70, protocol version alert, alert 70 (protocol version)

The TLS error, alert number 70, that a server sends when it refuses the protocol version a client offered. In Alex's lab it showed the server would not accept TLS 1.0, so a downgrade had nothing to land on.
