Error SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK

[tetchel]

Hi, I've used this tool in the past, but recently it appears to have stopped working.

[ /tim/downloads/ebooks ] 24 $ ./knock-1.2.0-x86_64-linux URLLink.acsm
downloading the file from Adobe...
error:
Exception code : 0x500a
Message        : Error SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK

I tried 1.1.0, and some other .ascm files, but got the same message.

Do you have any clue what it means? Is it using some server that needs to update its SSL cert? :)

Maybe you caught it just between Adobe's certs expiring and them replacing them? Is it still saying the same?

[tetchel]

Still the same error

Me too. Am using a throwaway EC2 with the AWS Linux 2 AMI -- amazon/amzn2-ami-kernel-5.10-hvm-2.0.20220805.0-x86_64-gp2

Same error using RockyLinux 8 on WSL2.

I have tried with libgourou's container and I could make it work after fully disabling my proxy.

> podman run \
    -v $PWD/.adept:/home/libgourou/.adept \
    -it --entrypoint /bin/bash \
    bcliang/docker-libgourou

The same trick didn't work with knock.

I get the same error, and trying with previous version of knock it gives this error instead:

Exception code : 0x1003
Message        : E_GOOGLE_DEVICE_LIMIT_REACHED http://books.google.com/books/acs4/fulfillment

So this is probably an error when you already have the book on several devices?

same here with version 1.3.1, in ubuntu aarch64 container
