ponsfrilus··on Gmail thinks I'm stupid, so I left
So everyone is using the web UI? I'm still using a mail client (Thunderbird) connecting to my mail accounts through the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). Today I feel old.

Introducing a novel technique for e-mail spoofing.

SMTP, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, allows e-mailing since 1982. This easily makes it one of the oldest technologies amongst the Internet. However, even though it seems to have stood the test of time, there was still a trivial but novel exploitation technique just waiting to be discovered – SMTP smuggling! In this talk, we’ll explore how SMTP smuggling breaks the interpretation of the SMTP protocol in vulnerable server constellations worldwide, allowing some more than unwanted behavior. Sending e-mails as admin@microsoft.com to fortune 500 companies – while still passing SPF checks – will be the least of our problems! From identifying this novel technique to exploiting it in one of the most used e-mail services on the Internet, we’ll dive into all the little details this attack has to offer. Therefore, in this talk, we’ll embark on an expedition beyond the known limits of SMTP, and venture into the uncharted territories of SMTP smuggling!

ponsfrilus··on Ask HN: Best board games of 2022?
I like the «spiele des jahre» prices, they are always good references (https://www.spiel-des-jahres.de/aktuelle-preistraeger-2022/). This year it was Cascadia.

If you like games that you can always have on you, check oink games (https://oinkgames.com/en/). Scout (nominated to Spiele des Jahre 2022), Troika, Mask Men, Startups and Kobayakawa are my favorites.

ponsfrilus··on Ask HN: What piece of code/codebase blew your mind when you saw it?
> The IOCCC Flight Simulator was the winning entry in the 1998 International Obfuscated C Code Contest. It is a flight simulator in under 2 kilobytes of code, complete with relatively accurate 6-degree-of-freedom dynamics, loadable wireframe scenery, and a small instrument panel.

> IOCCC Flight Simulator runs on Unix-like systems with X Windows. As per contest rules, it is in the public domain.

Oh, and the code is shaped as a plane. Pretty awesome.

ponsfrilus··on Ask HN: What is your Git commit/push flow?
Got it, it is not built-in on all distros. Head to https://git-scm.com/docs/git-gui/ and https://github.com/prati0100/git-gui.git/ for more.
ponsfrilus··on Ask HN: What is your Git commit/push flow?
Where is that? `git: 'gui' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.`

ponsfrilus··on Energy Efficiency across Programming Languages [pdf]
This paper compares a large set of programming languages regarding their efficiency, including from an energetic point-of-view. Indeed, we seek to establish and analyze different rankings for programming languages based on their energy efficiency. The goal of being able to rank languages with energy in mind is a recent one, and certainly deserves further studies.

ponsfrilus··on Ask HN: What's the best corporate password manager?
Even if it's not as convenient as keepassX, lesspass, lastpassword or 1password, you should look at KeyBase (https://keybase.io/). It's great to manage access and teams, and it's easy to integrate it in automation and code.
