You seem to be singularly focused on pentesting, whatever that means to you, and I'm mostly concerned with leakage of information. Being able to prove whether I can pwn Emacs or not is irrelevent. For my purpose, all I have to establish is if Emacs is treated as a TLS client on internet. This is trivial. > You have never worked in security. The fact that you're shocked at this shows how green you are. I don't mean that in a dismissive or insulting way, but if you'd just go do a stint as a pentester for a year, or talk to some pentesters in the field, you'll quickly stop being shocked at this. Does the fact that you are numbed to snafus like this justify the terrible state of network security of a continuously maintained 30+ year old editor? I expected more from the countless number of Emacs hackers came before me. I urge to you go thru the mailing list thread, but if you don't want to, I understand as it's rather long, but please don't assume you know what I've done or haven't done or how much I understand these issues, or my intentions. We've never met, never conversed before, you don't know anything about me.
