It seems that modern web browsers have made it increasingly difficult to use web sites that they consider "unsecure". In a free society, people have the right to choose to take risks such as skydiving or motorcycle riding. I should be able to consent to security risks. I spent several hours yesterday trying to find workarounds that would let me use Flash Player without being blocked by SSL certificate errors. I tried just about everything, including changing the date to 2020 or 2019, installing older versions, disconnecting from the internet after installing an older version to cripple the auto-update, going to versions of web browsers from 2015 or even 2004, and using command line execution in Chrome to disable SSL security checks. All of this over an old computer game that runs on Flash!
I finally found the hack - to use a non-supported version of Internet Explorer and change the date back to February 2020. Whew!
Is anyone else bothered by the "paternalism" that has crept in, to the point that you are blocked from choosing to voluntarily accept a risk ?
There is a trend of browsers using default options which are not necessarily in the interests of users. However, I do not see that enforcing encryption standards to be one of those.
Could the author of the computer game have kept up with maintaining modern certificates? Or began porting to a framework which has not been advertising a sunsetting date since years ago?
"Proof of Presence"
This is the title of final project in CyberSecurity MS college study, that will have to be "These defended" or most correctly project defended, at the end of it all. However after countless online consultations with the lead professor, who will be part of the team grading the "These defense" , it seems that I am further and further from the beginning. 4 years of courses taken aren't coming of use when this, so abstract title, is center of my (given to me) theses (it is not theses per see but in my World it almost serves as it is).
I would appreciate just some hints as to what to use as focus while writing it. Anything I start with comes to be no acceptable by my lead professor.
I even considered paid help as well, but it is hard to pinpoint what profession to envision that is great essay writer and verse as programmer at the same time.
Any suggested lead is appreciated.
"These defense" is not even correct English. If the subject matter of the project is Proof of Presence, I would look into writing on Let's Encrypt regarding certificates and things like certbot.
