Bug 647959 – Add Honest Achmed's root certificate (2011)

  • I'm really disappointed that www.honestachmed.dyndns.org/cert.der didn't work :(

  • Just use Let's Encrypt. :)

  • Is there some context to this? I am assuming it's a parody of some then-current controversy?

    Edit: Appears to be a parody of Comodo issuing rogue certs. More - http://www.scmagazine.com/experts-weigh-in-on-comodo-ssl-cer...

  • i'm usually quite thick skinned about these things... and maybe I am reading too much into it, but using a stereotypically racist American/English misspelling of an arab name to convey some amount of untrustworthyness?

    (the same could be said about used car salesmen... but i am not one of those)

    this rubs me up a bit wrong... as humorous as the intent is.
