Which hack is the right one for Kindle DXi with 3.2.1 firmware?
I have a Kindle DX (white; international edition; 3G-only) from ~2009 with YifanLu's 3.2.1 firmware - the one originally from Kindle 3 Keyboard.
Recently, I noticed many secure websites (e.g. https://www.instapaper.com) does not work, I always get "Web Browser is unable to establish a secure connection to this web site" warning.
I originally thought it's rotten-old certificate root of the Kindle's Web Browser based on WebKit. But then I went to https://www.howsmyssl.com and noticed that the most recent implementation of SSL/TLS on that 3.2.1 firmware is SSL 3.0, i.e. no version of TLS what so ever. I believe that because of POODLE, BEAST, and co. many websites disabled SSL and run TLS-only, which is not supported on 3.2.1 firmware.
Can someone with recent Kindle 3 Keyboard firmware (as of writing it's 3.4.2) visit https://www.howsmyssl.com and tell me what protocol is said to be supported in the "Version" section?
Can someone enter https://www.instapaper.com with 3.4.2 firmware and tell me whether they are able to see the homepage?
If I am correct and the problem with 3.2.1 firmware is that it does not support TLS and 3.4.2 does, it may be necessary for me to somehow update to 3.4.2, or at least update libs related to WebKit. To do that I need to JB and USBnet my Kindle, so...
I read "Font, ScreenSaver & USBNetwork Hacks for Kindle 2.x, 3.x & 4.x" by NiLuJe but I am unsure which hacks (JB, USBnet) to use? If I was running the original DXi firmware (2.5.8), I'd choose: Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_dxi_install.bin. And it would work, but it didn't for me when I tried.
Same with USBnet. Which one should I choose? Is my DXi now "K3"?
Should I build my own hack from "Snapshots of NiLuJe's hacks".
Thanks for your patience & help.
