Hi, I am working on Linux Kali. While trying to open any search engines (besides bing) on Firefox (iceweasel) I am getting insecure connection as shown on the screenshot below. While trying to access most of the other sites I am able to do so. Please advise.

So there are two certificates there:

(1) The google.ba certificate says it was issued by "api-SARAJEVO-CA" which does not sound like a typical issuer of a Google cert.

(Used these sites for decoding: https://certlogik.com/decoder/, https://www.sslchecker.com/certdecoder)

(2) The api-SARAJEVO-CA certificate also was issued by api-SARAJEVO-CA which apparently is unknown to Firefox.

I couldn't find any information online so I don't know who is using that certificate to try to fake out your browsers, or why they are intercepting your Google searches.

The owner of www.hacking-lab.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

Hi ammer123, if you click the blue text of the error code, the page should open a panel displaying the details of the certificate. They look like gibberish, but they can be decoded to reveal the "issued by" information on a site like https://www.sslshopper.com/certificate-decoder.html and that often points to a "man in the middle" such as security software, parental control filter, proxy server, or malware. Could you copy/paste that certificate information into a reply?
