I'm CAcert assurer, able to attribute you up to 10 points

  • I've currently 105 points (yes I know sounds weird but the points given by a CAcert board member are not rounded to the max of 100)
  • I passed the CATS Challenge with 100% (it requires 80%, I did 84% then 84% then 88% then 100% and got bored ;-) )

Misc infos

  • What can CAcert provide to you, to increase your privacy and security for free?
  • The Education Client Certificate I should use to encrypt my request for an official "paper" certificate (to have passed the test, not a digital certificate!)
    I copied the link here as I could not right-click on their page to save it...
  • I'm trying to get the client certificate out of Firefox/Iceweasel as it repeatedly told me "Failed to create the PKCS #12 backup file for unknown reasons"
    I sniffed the import of the certificate from CAcert to my browser then I replayed the transaction with wget so I got the public certificate but I still need the private part to be able to import it to Thunderbird/Icedove :-(
wget --no-check-certificate 
     --header 'Referer: https://www.cacert.org/account.php?id=6&cert=123456' 
     --header 'Cookie: cacert=12345678901234567890123456789012' 
     'https://www.cacert.org/account.php?id=6&cert=123456&install=1'
