NonConvergentWaveform Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Where did you find in on piriform? Second SSL certificate (expired) being offered by the website forum.piriform.com (on port 443, standard port). Also it shares the IP address with forum.piriform.com. I figured it was some "owner's secondary interest" kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Nergal Posted September 24, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 24, 2017 Juat so you know, moderators are speaking with Admins (Piriform employees) on this topic. In your browser can you provide us with the exact steps you followed to see each separate certificate? I know that's a weird ask but it's what was asked of us.

In your browser can you provide us with the exact steps you followed to see each separate certificate? I know that's a weird ask but it's what was asked of us. You'd have to use wireshark or a certificate testing site to see irrelevant certificates sent by the server, it's not a feature many (any?) browsers have.

NonConvergentWaveform Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 So, what is hxxps://www.beetleforum.net and what does it have to do with piriform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Be careful. When I click on that link in post #11, it pops a warning for insecure connection. Imho it should not be a live link. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

NonConvergentWaveform Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Be careful. When I click on that link in post #11, it pops a warning for insecure connection. Imho it should not be a live link. Yea, the SSL cert is expired, not really a shocking concern. Also that website is hosted on the same IP as this forum and this forum website is handing out that cert (which your browser ignores because it also gives a valid cert). It's hosted (more or less) at piriform, so I wasn't thinking it was unsafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted October 3, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 3, 2017 Nope it's hosted on Invision the owner of the php that builds the forum.

NonConvergentWaveform Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Please follow suite and write the url with hxxp, thanks. I'm not sure why we are afraid of this site more than any other site on the internet. After all it is hosted on the same computer that runs this forum. Which brings me back to my question, what's with that? I mean it's not like they separate virtual instances, it would seem certain that Apache instance hosting both websites has access to the private keys for both of the SSL certificates. This implies that the owner of one fully trusts the other or that there is only one owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't pop up a warning if you got to the http (not https) version of the site. Which is what I assume the members of that site are doing since they posted there as recently as yesterday. It's a normal forum with normal users which formerly had an SSL certificate. The certificate lapsed (I guess they didn't need it / too expensive) and they didn't renew it.
