ADCS TLS CERTIFICATE INFO.

[Admin]

1.Why would one need to download hub's certificate?

Although ADCS hubs are encripted there is a small risk of getting "cheated" by so called Man in the middle attack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack.
Therefore downloading hub's TLS certificate and placing it in your clients "Certificates" directory will eliminate this kind of issues.

2.What do i do with it?
Well after downloading - unzip it first. Put it in folder Certificates in DC++ or any other client that u might be using. Under normal for users using Winows OS this will be usually in users -> Username -> AppData -> Roaming -> DC++ -> Certificates or:

Code: Select all

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\client_name\Certificates

Just drop the cert there and reconnect to hub. Now hub has T or S status for trusted or secured. There is no need of renaming it - hublist generates unique id for each cert file provided.

3.How do i upload certificate file as a hub owner?

First of all let's make sure your hub supports ADC. Then make sure it's setup to serve on TLS port. If it is - now you can zip it's certificate (must be in .crt format and zipped .zip) and upload it here. Upload option is in your menu under edit hub. Login to hublist to get access to it.

Good luck and happy and safe sharing.

I think above needs to be edited a little bit.

Feel free to do so.

Better use

Code: Select all

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\

and then \client_name; it is an universal way.

Still wanna have crt-checked hubs to be marked somehow inside the common list of hubs. https://www.iconfinder.com/icons/111039/key_icon or https://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=checkbox or something like. Or maybe even with another background color?

P.S. Tried to put utf-8 'lock' smile char like Husaria using, but forum SQL base said NO WAY.

This list?:
https://dchublist.org/hubs

or this list:
https://dchublist.org.hublist.xml.bz2

In the first case yes it will be done with an icon and cert download link later on.

In second case it could be done using only some icons that work via xml without breaking it. Still doable but this needs more coding than above.
