Re: [Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run
Yes that is how I see it. I know nothing other than pulling the plug is 100% secure but that doesn’t mean we need to be complacent either.

Re: [Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run
If you're connected to the Internet, there is always some risk. Since Windows XP isn't being patched anymore, there are vulnerabilities that can be exploited regardless of what anti-virus/anti-malware/firewall you run. Your machine could, for instance, become part of a botnet (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botnet). Turning off your computer when not using it doesn’t make much of a difference, you can get infected in a fraction of a second. I will say that you are doing the right thing by running anti-virus, etc., but you are going to be more vulnerable to infections. At some point pretty much all Internet traffic will be encrypted. Encryption along doesn't prevent viruses, but it does reduce the risk. -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Alan Walters via DX4WIN Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2018 9:20 PM To: 'John Shaw' ; dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run No, those of us which choose to run obsolete systems, pay the money to run strong anti-virus and anti-malware, dedicate our PC's to our ham radio setup and turn them off when not in use.

Re: [Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run
Realistically, for this use case, the risk is pretty minimal. You're fetching data files for a programs that contain no information that could be considered sensitive. In theory, it makes it easier for someone to spoof the source website, so someone potentially could cause your session to be redirected to a different website and you'd download a set of files that aren't official, but that's about it. Unless there's some specific flaw in the program that could somehow be leveraged to do something other than what it's supposed to do (highly unlikely), the really isn't a risk. (Bear in mind that if you want to be 100% secure, you need to disconnect your computer from the Internet, then from the power source, then throw it into one of those industrial shredders.) A bigger risk would be if the main website didn't use HTTPS (it does). -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of John Shaw Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2018 8:29 PM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run So how does that affect security for all of this.

Re: [Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run
A little digging shows that this is hosted by qth.com. It might be possible to have a single website (dx4win.com) not redirected to https, but A) That's a terrible idea, and B) Sooner or later this is going to become a problem for almost every website, as https is becoming standard for everyone. The only short-term workaround that I can think of would be to host the actual files on a different website without https and work up a manual process to download and install.

Re: [Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run
Can we XP folks get a path to it that is "non-https" witha caveat that there may be security issues?

Hi Ed, The updates are tangential to the problem, not the problem itself. The DX4WIN website was issued a new security certificate on March 12 that is incompatible with Windows XP. If you try to access the URL: https://www.dx4win.com/ using Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, which is the latest for Windows XP, that access will fail. I believe that's correct. Rick, please correct me if I'm wrong. I have been offered to change the default security for my websites (*.ad1c.us) from http to https. That will probably break some folks which is why I have been holding off. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run
Rick,
Thanks for the work and bad news!!! ;-)
Looks like I'll need to get a new Radio Computer
which means I'll need to get a new keying system
since mine works off the Printer port and I'll need
to install a new Contesting Program since mine uses
DOS and I'll need to migrate my files to the new
computer (if they will work there) and I'll need to
re-install DX4WIN on the new computer (if I decide
to stay with it since I'm so p'd-off right now) and
I'll need to get T-QSL working on the new box and
I'll need to modify the mounting for the new computer
since its dimensions will surely be different than now
and I'll need to ... yadda-yadda-yadda ... so many things that I haven't
even thought of at this point.
At my age and after just moving to a new QTH and having to buy/install
a new tower/antennas, I don't know if all this is really worth it. 57 years
in Ham Radio might be enough.
...time for my nap.

Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run
It's not antivirus - I copied DX4WIN 9.0.4.1176 on a Windows XP system I use
for TQSL testing and got the same error:
System error : The host name in the certificate is invalid or does not match
I dug into this as penance for giving an incorrect answer earlier.
The issue is Windows XP - the SSL certificate for DX4WIN is signed with the
SHA256 algorithm, which Windows XP does not support.
Try opening Internet Explorer and using that to download the .INF file and
you'll get the same error. You can download the file using Firefox because
Firefox has it's own built-in cryptographic libraries that aren't stuck in 2010.
The SSL certificate for the site was issued 3/12/2018, so that's what caused
the issue, not some update to DX4WIN. You can not get website certificates that
work with Windows XP's crypto libraries because most browsers will reject those
certificates. You can't run anything new than IE 8 on Windows XP, so there's no
upgrade available for you.
There's not a lot of choices here.
First, DX4WIN could change their website to not automatically redirect
http://dx4win.com/ to https://dx4win.com/ - that would allow the updates to
work at the cost of compromising the security of everyone not running Windows
XP.
Second, DX4WIN could change how it's downloading - using something like cURL to
do the downloads (that's what a do for TQSL so Windows 2000 and Windows XP can
work) rather than the built-in Windows libraries.
Probably the only simple fix is turning https off, which is horrible. Everyone
not running XP being held hostage to the XP systems.
There's nothing that you can do to correct this on your end other than an
upgrade to a supported OS.

Re: [Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run
This is not a XP issue, it is a *Paul issue at DX4Win to fix*. If you can
open the www URL at listed, then there is nothing wrong with XP. As an
aside I can update N1MM+ with no issues. And load new versions of WSJT
without any problems.

See if you can find Version 10 or Version 11 to update Windows XP. See if that fixes the problem. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run
This has been posted multiple times. To update DX4WIN 9, you use Help/Check For Updates. The DX4WIN updater should never be used for 9.x or later. 73, -Rick On Thu, Mar 29, 2018 at 9:57 PM, R.T.Liddy wrote: > OOoops Let's try this as plain text! > > I've been out of town since 2/1/18.

[Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run
OOoops Let's try this as plain text! I've been out of town since 2/1/18. When I got home today, I tried to run DX4WIN Updater. It appeared to update itself to a new version. Then, when I tried to run it, it said Version 9.0.4.1176 is not supported by the Updater. It recommended I go to Help and Check for Updates to my DX4WIN. But, I got the following message: == Start update : Non threaded update --- OS version : Windows XP IE version : 8. Compiler : D7 Installed IDEs : Start WebUpdate process with version : 2.4.1.0 Checking for Internet connection Found open Internet connection Download : http://www.dx4win.com/files/updatesv9/update.INF System error : The host name in the certificate is invalid or does not match Closed Internet connection Closed Internet connection Updater won't run and Check For Updates also can't update.
