Tool Ideas
Since I don’t blog nearly enough, I figured I’d at least use this as a dumping ground for all the lame ideas I have for tools that would have made my life easier. The first tool, or the most recent tool that would have saved some time, is the ssl-cert-spoofer-helper. Can you see that I’m not very creative? In my experience, especially with the iPhone you not only need a trusted CA certificate on your iPhone, but a server certificate that looks *almost* like what the iPhone application is expecting. Specifically, the CN has to match the original. So, rather than go through the trouble of grabbing the “real” server certificate, examining it, and using openssl to generate my CA and fake certificate, I would like a tool that does it all for me. I started working on one in Ruby, but it isn’t terribly interesting OR fun….at all.
