Some antivirus software vendors (McAfee, Symantec, and some others) have started recently identifying Angry IP Scanner as ‘potentially unwanted program’ or risky ‘hacktool’. Now, their programs often delete Angry IP Scanner from the disk during virus scanning.

The reason behind this is the will to bloat ‘virus databases’ and show unreal high number of detected ‘viruses’ in order to impress their customers. So they include everything they can find on the Internet, including many security tools, such as Angry IP Scanner.

Yes!

I’ve “updated” my previous php-app.

Since today I ended up getting this error:

Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl}[Google Mail]/Spam in /home/yeri/.gmail.php on line 30
Certificate failure for imap.gmail.com: unable to get local issuer certificate: /C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=imap.gmail.com - Connection failed.

Simply searching this line:

$open = imap_open ("{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl/}$path"

And editing it to:

$open = imap_open ("{imap.gmail.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}$path"

Solves the problem.

This will ignore the Google certificate. Please do double check that imap.google.com really points to Google, and it’s not some kind of DNS issue.

From xkcd again.

I laughed!
