Hello, I have now modified the rkhunter sourceforge (SF) site to use HTTPS rather than HTTP. This should only affect the '--update' and '--versioncheck' options, which download files from SF. The rkhunter code itself has not been modified (yet) as SF say that they will simply perform a redirect as required.
The modification also now uses PHP 7 rather than PHP 5 at SF. I don't think this has any effect on rkhunter. The Rootkit Hunter project website itself has not been modified to use HTTPS yet. So you may get a warning about some parts of the site being unsecure. I'll look into that when I get a moment.
