    I believe you would have to remove the adguard certificate to get a different result when you run RCC

    Well At present I trust AdGuard and so won't be doing that, since programs like Bitdefender and Eset use the same technology.


    "It's no secret that since version 5.7 Adguard is able to filter secured connections (https).

    For proper filtering of secured connections, a mechanism called Man-In-Middle is used. By the way, filtering of secured connections in the popular antiviruses works the same way. E.g: Eset Nod32 and Bitdefender.

    For this method to work correctly, Adguard imports its own root certificate in certificate store that your browser uses. If https-connection filtering is enabled, Adguard automatically detects browsers installed on your computer and installs the root certificate in their stores.

    The problem is that we can’t define location of the portable-browser. Therefore, for the portable-versions of browsers using its own certificate store, such as Firefox and Opera 12 and its previous versions, we have to use workarounds."

    EMET does not work on my system.

    ~ Removed Off Topic Remarks ~


    I sure remember the old debates about hardware rootkits here, and all we got was it is a POC now look at all that HAS happened in the past 5 yeARS. Stop fear mongering!!!
    Well it is here and it is here to stay !!! my friends.

    The old remedy was to reformat and as you know that don't work now. If you get hit by one of these all you can do is burn your entire computer and buy a new one and hope even that has not been compromised. Right?

    Thee is no need for work arounds for firefox or chrome/opera (chromium forkes). at least those root store are saver than this vulnerable mitm rubbish. also there exists an investigation that almost all security products are somehow vulnerable themselves.

    cheers

    No activity for its Wilders thread in over a month. Also web site download link is off-line.

    Someone shut it down?

    @svenfaw I would very much like to download a new version of RCC. I tried to download some time ago and the status was moving. Now it's just gone. Is there a new place to get RCC? Hope you are well.

    Hi, I'd love to give a better answer but it's not available for download at this time, I'm afraid. Hopefully I'll be able to share some more information soon.

    @svenfaw, where can this new RCC be downloaded from? The original link in the first post doesn't work. I see no other mention of another site and nothing about it on your blog.

    Thanks

    Nice work, svenfaw. :thumb:

    Reports "Symantec Enterprise Mobile Root for M" (icrsoft?).

    I don't run any Symantec software on my system...

    Not sure if relevant, as I don't understand Italian, but a quick Google search turned this up:

    I'm afraid I don't understand the English translation by Google. Anyone Italian here that can explain what is published there?

    Anyone else getting this certificate reported by RCC?

    That cert. is an enterprise cert. used by Windows Phone. Info on how to install it is here: https://knowledge.symantec.com/supp...=content&id=SO20770&actp=RSS&viewlocale=en_US

    I assume neither applies to you? Just verify your root CA certs. using certmgr.msc to ensure it's not there. If it is, just delete it if not needed. I am pretty sure this Symantec Root cert. is not part of the standard cert. issue package from MS unless it was added for WIN 10?

    See what the insertion time is and cross-match that with software installation timestamps (Programs and Features control panel) to try and find the culprit:

    Might be worth a shot.

    Thanks for the update.

    The name of E13CE7983517E81453BDE6B6840B955CC4B648A0 certificate is wrong, it shows SK but it's trusted ESET SSL Filter CA on windows 10 x64.


    With CTInfo 1.20 I get 349 certs (trusted) and 61 untrusted. If I click on 'details' it shows 349, but wouldn't it better to show only the untrusted ones to compare and move this button to the other site, because it is a bit confusing.

    Edit:
    Maybe the possibility to mark specific certs 'trusted' would be good, or an feedback button to report or upload it. Because it's a bit annoying to see legit certs in big red as untrusted, I know they are external but anyway.

    Good suggestion!

    Unfortunately unsuccessful: the certificate is reported to be installed installed on July 10, 2015. That's weird because it's on my Windows 10 system that I clean installed after the release of Windows 10 (which was July 29 I believe).
