I love the lure, and I respect the GitLab team for making it public, but this is a tough read - it’s putting way too much responsibility on the end-user. For example I’m a huge fan of security teams using email headers to analyze suspicious messages, but I think it’s a step too far to expect a user to ever look at an email header, no? We can hardly get regular end-users to hover over a link; encouraging them to open up email headers to see what service the mail was sent from, or to understand what a “received” message header vs an x-originating-ip means is counter-productive. Headers are hard to understand even for a security analyst, asking HR or Recruitment or Sales to analyze them and understand them feels like the red-team are underestimating how little time everyone has and overestimating how technical most employees are!
