Thank you so much ... its about 8:00 and I'm going to try to watch something sort of neutral. Tomorrow I plan to walk a bit since maybe 1 or 2 nice days left in the 40's ... getting cold at night. No plans other than to check in here in the AM and spend time with my peace Lilly. It means to much to know you care and likewise. I hope things improved as the day went on for you, sometimes I just push through and it does pass, never act on urges. Good night :)

The most important thing is, I hope you feel better @XPerceniol.

I don't understand what you always have to criticize about SAB and what all doesn't work. I have had no problems for what feels like an eternity and I am currently running Windows 11 DEV Insider Build 25247.1000. Turn off your 1000 additional tools for the appearance of Windows, then SAB can also work reasonably. Here in Germany we have a saying that says: "Many cooks spoil the broth" Apart from that, Microsoft has been working for several weeks on a new taskbar that brings here and there from home already times problems with it. Before I activate SAB, I always deactivate all special functions that the taskbar may have activated so that it has a state like a new installation. Then only activate the SAB and possibly make changes

WinNTSetup 5.3.0 beta 2 - Italian language update WinNTSetup 5.3.0 beta2 italian.zip

I read the first post of this thread and I don't understand why it's so complicated? Proxomitron Reborn works, decrypts-encrypts-filters HTTPS. Yes, only TLS 1.2, but otherwise no problem.

You're welcome. Have fun! And yes, things are going ok for me. Good night!

Of course we do ! Good night to you too !

you can think arcticfox is NM27 with some new elements from australis UI, still incomplete and may have some UI bugs.

Very well, since you have said it's Russian, I guess I will have to wait for DeepL to add more languages to their site...

Last time I checked, there were no clouds outside. And thanks for the wishes.

If you're interested, for the time being you can use the command-line HTML/XML/JSON parser Xidel to recover these video-urls.

Now we are on 110.0.5425.0, and it will no longer launch on a regular Windows 7 install. Three functions needed so far: SetThreadInformation SetProcessMitigationPolicy GetProcessMitigationPolicy These are all wrappers to older ntdll functions, so they should be easy to add, to some extent. If not, this new code is all in the sandbox anyway.

Official Chromium browser snapshot 1070779 (110.0.5417.0 - at https://storage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=Win_x64/1070779/) is available today. No work has been done to break Windows 7 compatibility yet. Vista and 7 will have a harder time because of the lack of support of nested job objects in those operating systems. Though even if VxKex and Vista Extended Kernel are unable to enhance job objects in time, I think we can run them with --no-sandbox in the interim. as most of the code relevant to job objects is in the sandbox.

Certificates - CA and Root Certificates Although Windows XP was abandoned and updates of root certificates were not provided anymore by Microsoft for this OS, we still found ways to update them. And, if we want to install one of our TLS proxies, we have to install a CA certificate to get them working. In both cases, certificates are needed, and this short article is intended to shed some light on this certificate jungle with regards to our TLS proxies. The CA certficate of ProxHTTPSProxy A certificate authority (CA) is a trusted entity that issues digital certificates. These are files that cryptographically link an entity to a public key. Certificate authorities are an important part of the Internet's Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) because they issue the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates that browsers use to authenticate content sent from web servers. All popular web browsers use web servers' SSL certificates to keep content delivered online secure. They all need to trust certificate authorities to issue certificates reliably. SSL certificates are used in conjunction with the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to encrypt and authenticate data streams for the HTTPS protocol, and are therefore sometimes referred to as SSL/TLS certificates or simply TLS certificates. The first time ProxHTTPSProxy is started, it creates the keys for a certificate authority in its program directory if there is none. This file CA.crt is used for on-the-fly generation of dummy certificates for each visited website which are stored in the subfolder Certs. And, there is a second file called cacert.pem located in ProxHTTPSProxy's program directory. This file cacert.pem contains the currently valid root certificates (will be considered in more detail below) used by the proxy to verify the server connections. Since your browser won’t trust the ProxHTTPSProxy's CA certificate out of the box, you will either need to click through a TLS certificate warning on every domain, or install the CA certificate once so that it is trusted. It has to be installed in the Trusted Root Certification Authority of Windows XP and in some cases additionally in the Certificate Manager of a browser as in the cases of New Moon, Pale Moon, Firefox, and others. The Internet Explorer doesn't possess an own certificates store and uses the Trusted Root Certification Authority of Windows XP. Typically, digital certificates contain data about the entity that issued the certificate and cryptographic data to verify the identity of the entity, including the entity's public key and expiration date for the certificate, as well as the entity's name, contact information, and other information associated with the certified entity. Web servers transmit this information when a browser establishes a secure connection over HTTPS. In doing so, they send to it the certificate and the browser authenticates it using its own root certificate store. The following graphic illustrates the structure of a Certificate Authority as for example GlobalSign: SSL/TLS certificates are based on PKI as mentioned above, and there are a few key parts that need to be in place for the SSL certificate to work: A digital certificate (for example, an SSL/TLS certificate) that proves the website’s identity. A certificate authority that verifies the website and issues the digital certificate. A digital signature that proves the SSL certificate was issued by the trusted certificate authority. A public key that your browser uses to encrypt data sent to the website. A private key that the website uses to decrypt the data sent to it. Here is another graphic to illustrate the role that a certificate authority (CA) plays in the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI): When installing such CA certificates in Windows XP manually, then there is something else to note. It can be of crucial importance whether one installs a root certificate under the account of the Current User or Local Computer. In the first post of my thread, you can find more information on that. Furthermore, exiting ProxHTTPSProxy completely, deleting the old CA.cert file in ProxHTTPSProxy's program directory, and restarting ProxHTTPSProxy will result in the generation of a new CA certificate CA.crt that will be valid for another ten years. In addition, the certificate bundle cacert.pem should be updated, at best regularly. You can do that with the tool cacert Updater Fixed which can be found in the download section under Downloads related to cacert.pem Certificate Update in the first post of this thread. This tool is also included in my program package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu. And, that is the moment to note something very important. Any change to a ProxHTTPSProxy installation regarding the CA certificate or a severe system crash while one of the proxies is running in the background always requires a reset of all dummy certificates in the Certs subfolder. The word "reset" at this point means deleting all certificates that have been created in the Certs folder, manually by the user. The next time the proxy is started correctly, all necessary certificates will be created again when the corresponding websites are accessed. Here are a few screenshots of ProxHTTPSProxy's CA certificate (German edition of Windows XP, sorry!): The Root Certificates of Windows XP In cryptography and computer security, a root certificate is a public key certificate that identifies a root certificate authority (CA). Root certificates are self-signed and form the basis of an X.509-based PKI. Either it has matched Authority Key Identifier with Subject Key Identifier, in some cases there is no Authority Key identifier, then Issuer string should match with Subject string (RFC 5280). For instance, the PKIs supporting HTTPS for secure web browsing and electronic signature schemes depend on a set of root certificates. A certificate authority can issue multiple certificates in the form of a tree structure. A root certificate is the top-most certificate of the tree, the private key which is used to "sign" other certificates. All certificates signed by the root certificate, with the "CA" field set to true, inherit the trustworthiness of the root certificate. A signature by a root certificate is somewhat analogous to "notarizing" identity in the physical world. Such a certificate is called an intermediate certificate or subordinate CA certificate. Certificates further down the tree also depend on the trustworthiness of the intermediates. The following graphic illustrates the role of a root certificate in the chain of trust: The root certificate is usually made trustworthy by some mechanism other than a certificate, such as by secure physical distribution. Root certificates are distributed in Windows XP by Microsoft and located in special certificate stores. These certificate stores may be viewed through the Certificates snap-in Certmgr.msc in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). You can open the Certificates console focused on the Current User on a Windows XP computer by opening Certmgr.msc in the Run dialog box. Here is a screenshot of what you see running this command (German edition of Windows XP, sorry!): The root certificates of Windows XP can be updated by @heinoganda's Certificate Updater or by my self-created Root Certificate and Revoked Certificate Updaters, in both cases to the most recent ones provided by Microsoft. These updaters can be found in the download section under Downloads related to Root Certificate Updates in the first post of this thread. There is no automatism for this updating. It must be done manually by the user and, if possible, regularly. @heinoganda's Certificate Updater is also included in my program package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu.
