Wondering how to get rid of the not secure message

Postby wesman00 » 10. January 2020 22:13

I'm using XAMPP to host apache on my main computer. I downloaded a webpage through a GitHub project and moved the files inside of it into the htdocs so it would show up when I went to localhost. I'm also running a Virtual Machine on the same computer and going to localhost does not show the apache page I am hosting. I solved this by going to the host computer's local IP address. I edited the windows host file so that when I put lrjenkins.bank into the address bar, it should go to my local IP address instead of 127.0.0.1. In the address bar, it shows that my connection is not secure. I plan to use this locally hosted site to mimic a fake bank to waste scammers' time when I let them connect to my virtual machine and log into my fake bank using fake login info (the password has to be hunter2 lol) to show fake money. If I put the host computer's local IP into the address bar then I am able to see the page and log in and everything, but seeing a string of numbers when I'm "logging into my bank" instead of lrjenkins.bank is not convincing and having not secure in the address bar is also a red flag. https://shellcreeper.com/how-to-create-valid-ssl-in-localhost-for-xampp/ I followed this tutorial to make a certificate and trust it in windows settings on my host just to verify that it works, and after following the guide and changing site.test to lrjenkins.bank everywhere I saw it and then trusting the certificate, but I got the error in chrome that tells me that the site is using HSTS and I have to type "thisisunsafe" to get the site to show and it still says not secure in the top so this tutorial made the problem worse. I reverted to the backup before I followed the tutorial and I still can't figure out how to make an SSL certificate that shows that my connection is secure. If at all possible, I would love to have the lock display that the certificate is issued to LR Jenkins Financial Group, exactly how the certificate for github.com works.
