  InsecurePlatformWarning
krmaxwell commented 9 years ago

So my inclination is that we should require valid certificates from the list sources (e.g. ZeusTracker) but not from the served samples themselves (because we expect badness there). Thoughts?

krmaxwell commented 9 years ago

Based on https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning , it looks like the real fix is to upgrade to v2.7.9 or greater.

Orrrr to install the security extras.

I do not think Ubuntu LTE has upgraded to that version yet on the standard install. I think it is a nice to have with the source list. It really shouldn't matter when downloading the samples as it is already malicious. People should also be using a Proxy.

For me, this is as much about the UX as anything else. All those warnings clutter up the display. Also, assuming that you're using pip install -r requirements.txt then we should be able to do everything via PyPI.

fully agree. That warning is an annoying one for sure.
