    Les attaques Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) représentent l'évolution sophistiquée des classiques attaques Man-in-the-Middle. Contrairement à l'écoute passive, l'attaquant s'insère activement entre la victime et le service légitime, usurpant les deux parties pour intercepter, modifier et rediriger les communications. Ces attaques permettent de voler des identifiants, de contourner l'authentification à deux facteurs (2FA) en capturant les cookies de session, et même de manipuler les transactions financières en temps réel. Des outils facilitent grandement la mise en place de ces attaques et l'une des protections valables repose sur le chiffrement des communications (VPN, HTTPS), l'authentification multi-facteurs résistante au phishing (WebAuthn) et la vigilance face aux liens suspects.

    Faites preuve d'un peu d'imagination pendant quelques minutes. Vous êtes tranquillement installé au Starbucks du coin, vous buvez votre latte caramel macchiato à 7 balles, et vous vous connectez au WiFi public pour checker vos mails. Sauf que le mec à la table d'à côté, avec son hoodie noir et son MacBook Pro qui sent le terminal, n'est pas là pour boire son café. Il est là pour se positionner entre vous et le reste du monde.

    Et là, on ne parle pas d'un simple Man-in-the-Middle à l'ancienne, non non. On parle d'un Adversary-in-the-Middle, le gros calibre. La différence ? Le mec usurpe activement les deux côtés de la conversation. C'est pas juste un petit curieux qui écoute aux portes. C'est un escroc qui se fait passer pour votre banque ET pour vous, en même temps. Il relaie tout, modifie ce qu'il veut, et vous, vous ne voyez rien.

    "Mais j'ai la 2FA, je suis blindé !"

    Hé ben non. C'est là que ça pique.

    Les attaques AiTM ont un super-pouvoir de merde : elles contournent la 2FA. Comment ? Le mec crée un site parfaitement identique à celui de votre banque. Vous cliquez sur le lien du mail de phishing et vous arrivez sur sa copie. Login, mot de passe, et PAF, le code SMS arrive. Vous le rentrez. Sauf que le code passe par le serveur du mec au milieu, qui le relaie en temps réel à la vraie banque. Résultat ? Il a votre session, vos cookies, et il peut se connecter à votre compte pendant des heures sans que vous vous en rendiez compte.

    C'est ce qu'on appelle le session hijacking. Vous avez validé l'authentification, et pourtant c'est lui qui se retrouve connecté à votre place. Et il peut même modifier les données en transit : changer le numéro de compte bénéficiaire d'un virement, injecter du malware dans une mise à jour, bref, tout ce qui lui chante.

    Des outils comme Evilginx2 traînent dans la nature depuis 2018 et permettent à n'importe quel script kiddie de monter ce genre d'attaque en 10 minutes. Le framework MITRE ATT&CK a même une entrée dédiée pour ça (T1557), tellement c'est devenu courant.

    "Ok, et je fais quoi alors ?"

    Ben déjà, arrêtez de cliquer sur les liens de vos mails comme un débile. Mais surtout, surtout, chiffrez votre connexion. Et là, un VPN entre en jeu.

    Pas n'importe lequel. Un VPN qui sait ce qu'il fait. Je vous en parle régulièrement (j'espère qu'à force ça finit par rentrer hein) mais, récemment, Surfshark vient encore de se faire remarquer en recevant le PCMag Editor's Choice award . Ce qui, dans le monde des VPN, est un peu comme recevoir une étoile Michelin pour un kebab. Ça veut dire que les mecs de PCMag, qui testent ce genre de truc toute la journée, ont trouvé que Surfshark tenait la route.

    Pourquoi un VPN ça marche contre l'AiTM ?

    C'est simple. Lorsque vous activez Surfshark , tout votre trafic passe dans un tunnel chiffré entre votre machine et le serveur VPN. Même si le mec au Starbucks contrôle le routeur, même s'il fait de l'ARP spoofing, du DNS poisoning, ou je ne sais pas quelle autre magie noire, il verra que dalle, juste des paquets chiffrés illisibles, point barre.

    Pas d'identifiants en clair, pas de cookies de session à sniffer, et pas moyen de modifier une page web en transit. Le gars peut toujours essayer de vous rediriger vers son faux site, mais votre connexion VPN reste intacte et chiffrée.

    Et Surfshark, en plus du chiffrement AES-256-GCM (celui que la NSA approuve pour ses documents top secret, pour ceux qui aiment les détails techniques), propose des fonctionnalités sympas :

    • CleanWeb qui bloque les trackers et les pubs (et donc les domaines malveillants souvent cachés derrière)
    • Kill Switch qui coupe internet si le VPN tombe (parce qu'un tunnel qui s'effondre, c'est pas un tunnel)
    • MultiHop qui fait passer votre connexion par DEUX serveurs VPN successifs pour ceux qui sont vraiment parano
    • Surfshark Alert qui surveille si vos identifiants ont fuité sur le dark web
    • Alternative ID qui vous permet de créer de fausses identités temporaires

    Le prix de la tranquillité

    Alors oui, un VPN ça coûte un peu d'argent. Mais franchement, entre payer quelques euros par mois et se faire vider son compte bancaire par un mec qui a sniffé votre session sur le WiFi du McDo, le choix est vite fait. Surtout que Surfshark propose des abonnements longue durée à prix cassés, et avec leurs offres actuelles, vous en avez pour moins cher qu'une paire de cafés par mois (2.75€ TTC pour le pack Starter ou 3.35€ TTC pour Surfshark One avec l'antivirus & co).

    Et puis, ils ont aussi une politique de no-logs auditée indépendamment et régulièrement. C'est-à-dire qu'ils ne gardent aucune trace de ce que vous faites. Contrairement à votre FAI qui sait exactement à quelle heure vous regardez vos séries un peu spéciales sur Netflix.

    Bref

    Les attaques AiTM n'ont rien de la science-fiction. Ça arrive tous les jours. Microsoft a documenté une campagne qui a ciblé plus de 10 000 organisations depuis 2021. Twitter (pardon : X), Microsoft 365, Slack, Twilio... tous ont morflé à cause de ce genre d'attaque. Et vous, sur votre WiFi public, vous êtes une cible parfaite.

    Un VPN comme Surfshark n'est pas une baguette magique qui vous protège de tout. Si vous cliquez sur un lien de phishing, le VPN ne vous sauvera pas de votre propre étourderie. Mais il vous protègera de l'interception passive et active sur les réseaux non sécurisés. Et ça, c'est déjà énorme. Dans le doute, chiffrez. Toujours.

    Profitez de l'offre du moment chez Surfshark !

    Simon Willison, le créateur de Datasette et co-créateur de Django, vient de porter un modèle d'inpainting d'image directement dans le navigateur. Sa démo vous permet de choisir une photo, de peindre sur la zone à faire disparaître et ensuite le modèle IA reconstitue ce qu'il manque. Et ce qui est merveilleux avec cette appli c'est que tout tourne sur votre carte graphique en local, comme ça vos données restent chez vous.

    Le modèle s'appelle Moebius, dispose de 0,22 milliard de paramètres, et a été développé par une équipe de l'université Huazhong en Chine. À l'origine c'est un modèle PyTorch, que Willison a converti au format ONNX pour le faire tourner via ONNX Runtime Web sur le backend WebGPU, une nouvelle API qui donne aux pages web un accès direct au GPU. Et ce qu'on obtient, c'est un modèle de diffusion qui s'exécute à 100% côté client dans Chrome ou Safari.

    Lors de la première utilisation, l'outil télécharge 1,27 Go de poids depuis Hugging Face, ce qui est énorme pour une page web. Mais c'est un one-shot car ensuite, le navigateur range tout ça dans son Cache Storage, et les fois d'après il ne re-télécharge rien.

    Je l'ai installé et testé et ça fonctionne vraiment très très bien. J'ai sélectionné quelques tuiles comme un bourrin et ça me les a enlevées très proprement en quelques dizaines de secondes (une fois le modèle initial téléchargé évidemment).

    C'est du vrai inpainting génératif en tout cas et pas un truc qui recopie les pixels d'à côté.

    Willison raconte dans le README que la conversion PyTorch vers ONNX et l'appli web complète ont été réalisées par Claude Code avec le modèle Claude Opus 4.8, et qu'il n'a "*pas regardé une seule ligne de code *". Il s'est juste contenté de tester dans le navigateur et de signaler ce qui clochait. Hé ouais c'est comme ça maintenant, les temps changent ;)

    C'est open source sous licence Apache 2.0, la démo est en ligne, et le code est sur GitHub si vous voulez le lancer chez vous. Testez, et effacez ce gars avec son coup de soleil sur le crâne qui gâche votre plus belle photo de vacances, je ne vous juge pas ^^.

    Adopt a cat, they said. It'll be fun, they said. But those who have actually done it know that the fun part doesn't always begin the second you bring your furry friend home. It can take days, weeks, months or even years for a rescued cat to settle into their new home, and learn to trust, eat, love and play again.

    While shelter life is no paradise for any animal, adoption can also come with its fair share of trauma, anxiety and fear for cats. It's a massive and overwhelming change that's not always easy for a new pet owner to navigate. But if you stick it out, adopting Mr or Mrs Whiskers can turn out to be one of the best and most rewarding decisions of your life. Seeing them eventually glow up and gather their confidence is nothing short of amazing.

    People have been sharing the before-and-after pics of their rescued cats, and many might melt your heart. It was a really difficult task but Bored Panda has selected the most adorable photos from a thread of many for you to purr through. Don't be surprised if you feel inspired to head to your local shelter later to adopt a pet of your own.

    Millions of cats enter shelters in the United States every single year. Sadly, some never make it out alive. According to the ASPCA, around 2.2 million cats were adopted in 2025, 362,000 were returned to their owner or the field, 376,000 were transferred to other organizations, and 277,000 were euthanized.

    There are loads of reasons cats end up in shelters across the world. Some are found on the streets as strays. Others are surrendered because their owners can't afford them, are moving, or simply can't 'handle' them. The latter, say experts, is often down to a general lack of animal care education.

    According to experts at Cold Nose College, cat behavioral problems, especially inappropriate urination (missing the litter box), are consistently cited as a top reason cats are relinquished. Other behavioral factors include cat-to-cat aggression, biting, and destructive scratching.

    "Just like a child, animals do not learn how to be good' all on their own. They need positive guidance and to be taught how to be a well-mannered member of a family," says Cyn Demers from the Saving Grace Humane Society. "If more people had access to training classes or basics on the pet they were getting, it would lead to more cohesive households and less animals being surrendered due to their innate nature as a different species."

    Adopting a cat can be an incredibly rewarding experience and comes with many pros. Firstly, you’ll be saving a kitty from life in a shelter by providing them with a loving and warm home. And by adopting from a rescue centre, you’ll be assisted by trained staff who know each of the cats well enough to find the right match.

    "A shelter will always assess your lifestyle to make sure it is suited to the wellbeing and needs of the cat, and will be able to answer any questions you may have," say the experts from Royal Canin, a global pet nutrition brand.

    Adopting is often also cheaper than buying from a breeder. “Shelter cats are usually treated for parasites, examined by a vet and are very often sterilised and vaccinated before you take them home,” notes Royal Canin's team, adding that most shelters will ask for an affordable financial contribution as an adoption fee.

    They suggest asking a lot of questions before deciding on the purr-fect kitty. Find out the cat's age, what its life was like before the shelter. Staff may or may not know the answer but it's worth asking anyway. Also ask if the cat is comfortable being left alone, and whether they have any unusual behavior or if there’s anything you should be aware of.

    You might also want to know how the cat reacts to children and/or other animals, and whether they are used to going outside. If you do have other pets at home, you may want to ask the shelter if they can help organize a meet-and-greet.

    Experts advise that you spend some time with the cat you intend to adopt, before making a final commitment. "Try to see the cat several times before adopting it and spend some time allowing it to get to know you," explains the Royal Canin site.

    When it comes to bringing your newly adopted cat home, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, give him or her space and a place to hide when they feel overwhelmed. The cat might not show you the immediate affection you're craving for and it's best to follow their lead by letting them come to you first. Don't smother them with love and cuddles, as hard as it may be.

    "After adoption, your new cat wants a safe place to observe the scene until they’re comfortable enough to explore," reveals the team at Rover. "Make sure these spaces are pet-safe; you don’t want them getting stuck in a wall."

    "Your cat needs your presence to get familiar with you, but at a distance. Respect their boundaries by keeping yourself in the same room as your cat without invading their personal bubble," advises Rover. "You can read a book, stream your favorite show, or take a phone call (many cats are reassured by voices). Eventually, your adopted cat will come to understand that you are safe."

    According to Rover's site, a cat will let you know when they're ready for all the love you have to offer. Dilated pupils, flattened ears, and a rapidly twitching tail are signs that the cat is still nervous. But if the cat starts rubbing up against you or puts out a playful paw, it's inviting you into its space.

    When they're ready, don't be afraid to play with them. It's great for exercise and even better for bonding.

    If you’ve ever asked a pet parent to choose between you and their pet, there’s a good chance you already know how that story ends. For many people, pets aren’t “just animals”—they’re family. They’re loyal companions, emotional support systems, and the ones who stick by us through some of life’s toughest moments. Whether it’s a dog greeting you at the door after a long day or a cat curling up beside you when you need comfort most, those bonds run incredibly deep.

    That’s exactly what happened in today’s story. One woman absolutely adored her two pet cats, both of whom had helped her through some of the most difficult periods of her life. So, when she got engaged, she made it clear from the very beginning that her beloved pets would be moving in with them. But not long after the couple started living together, her fiancé gave her a shocking ultimatum: she had just four days to “get rid of” one of her cats. Keep reading to find out how the situation unfolded.

    Many pet owners share incredibly strong emotional bonds with their pets

    Research suggests that pet ownership can lower stress levels and improve emotional well-being

    Whether someone chooses to have a pet or not is a deeply personal decision. Just like any lifestyle choice, pet ownership comes with its own set of responsibilities, challenges, and rewards. There’s the daily feeding, grooming, vet visits, and, yes, the occasional fur-covered couch. But for millions of people around the world, the positives far outweigh the inconveniences. Research has consistently shown that pets can help reduce stress and anxiety, ease feelings of loneliness, provide unconditional love and emotional support, create a calming presence at home, and even give people a greater sense of purpose. After all, there’s something incredibly comforting about knowing that no matter what kind of day you’ve had, someone is always excited to see you walk through the front door.

    Pets don’t just benefit our emotional health; they can also encourage healthier lifestyles. One study found that more than 60% of dog owners meet the recommended weekly amount of physical activity. That means they’re getting at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise every week, simply because their furry companion needs regular walks. Many owners even say their dogs motivate them to leave the house on days when they’d rather stay in bed. Those daily walks often turn into opportunities to explore parks, meet neighbors, enjoy fresh air, and build healthier routines. In many ways, dogs become the most persistent (and perhaps the cutest) personal trainers anyone could ask for.

    But here’s something even more interesting. Traditionally, pets were often viewed as companions within families that already had children. They were considered an addition to the household rather than a central part of it. Today, however, researchers are noticing a significant shift. As birth rates decline in many countries and family structures continue to change, pets are increasingly taking on much larger roles in people’s lives. It’s becoming more common to hear people refer to themselves as “dog moms” or “cat dads,” and while those labels may sound playful, they reflect a genuine emotional connection. Increasingly, pets aren’t simply living alongside families; they’re becoming an essential part of what family means.

    Several broader demographic changes help explain why this is happening. In many developed countries, marriage rates, fertility rates, and even household sizes have declined over the past few decades. At the same time, more people are living alone or spending longer periods of adulthood without partners or children. As a result, pets are often filling roles that might once have been occupied by spouses, siblings, or children. They become trusted companions, sources of emotional comfort, and loyal members of the household. While they certainly don’t replace human relationships entirely, they often help ease feelings of isolation and provide a level of companionship that’s difficult to put into words.

    Research supports just how deeply people value these relationships. According to Psychology Today, 77% of dog and cat owners say their pet is a family member “just like anyone else”. Similarly, Pew Research found that nearly all dog owners in the United States consider their canine companions to be important members of the family. In fact, in some countries, dogs now outnumber children. That statistic alone highlights just how dramatically society’s relationship with pets has evolved. For millions of households, caring for a pet isn’t viewed as a hobby or luxury; it’s simply part of everyday family life.

    Shifting family dynamics and growing social isolation have strengthened the emotional role pets play in people’s lives

    Animal behavior researcher Enikő Kubinyi has spent years studying this growing bond between humans and their pets at ELTE Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. In a paper published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, Kubinyi explores why these relationships have become so meaningful. She argues that the parent-child-like bond many people develop with their dogs is driven by both biology and culture. Humans have evolved with a natural instinct to nurture and care for others. At the same time, modern society has changed dramatically, with smaller families, fewer children, and increasing social isolation. Together, these biological instincts and cultural shifts have helped strengthen the emotional role pets now play in our lives.

    Kubinyi explains this idea even further, saying, “Many people now live without close family ties or regular interaction with children. For example, in recent years, nearly 90% of adults in Hungary do not spend any time caring for young children, although our species is biologically adapted to cooperative child-rearing. Yet the psychological need to nurture and connect hasn’t disappeared.” In other words, while society has changed, our emotional wiring hasn’t. People still seek meaningful connections, opportunities to care for someone, and relationships built on trust and affection. For many, pets naturally step into that space, offering companionship without judgment and affection without conditions.

    At the end of the day, pets mean different things to different people. For some, they’re loyal companions who brighten everyday life. For others, they’re emotional anchors who helped them survive grief, loneliness, anxiety, or some of life’s darkest moments. That’s why asking someone to give up a beloved pet is rarely as simple as giving away an object. It often feels more like losing a close friend or family member. While every household has to find arrangements that work for everyone, it’s also important to recognize the emotional significance pets hold in so many people’s lives. Understanding that bond is often the first step toward finding compassionate solutions.

    Coming back to this particular story, it’s easy to understand why the woman felt so heartbroken. She had made it clear from the very beginning of the relationship that her two cats would always be part of the package, and her fiancé had known about them long before they moved in together. That’s why his sudden ultimatum came as such a shock. Relationships naturally involve compromise, but many people felt this demand crossed a line—especially when it involved a pet that had been part of her life for years. Others also questioned why the issue wasn’t raised more seriously before they became engaged. Pandas, what are your thoughts? Was the fiancé being reasonable about living conditions, or was asking her to give up one of her beloved cats simply too much?

    Several commenters encouraged the woman to leave her fiancé

    There are so many advanced technologies that feel almost like magic. Smartphones. Airplanes. Robotic surgery. Virtual reality. Robot vacuums zooming around your local supermarket. And... 3D printing. No matter how much time goes by, we still can't get over how cool it is that you can quickly make almost any three-dimensional object that you envision from the comfort of your own home.

    We want to celebrate the brightest and most brilliant creators and hobbyists out there who have come up with some truly inspiring 3D printed designs. So, we're featuring our favorite projects and designs from the awesome '3D Printing' online community to show you what’s possible with a bit of imagination, patience, and out-of-the-box thinking.

    #1 3D Printed A Pot For My New Bonsai Tree

    My wife got me a dwarf jade bonsai for father day, unfortunately it came in a cracked pot. I decided to print the living pot to put the bonsai in. My wife painted and decorated it! What do you think?

    3D printing essentially involves taking a digital file and then using that info to layer various materials like plastics, composites, or bio-materials to create whatever object you want, with whatever properties you want. Size, texture, material, color, rigidity, flexibility, etc—everything is up for grabs.

    The 3D printing industry is predicted to be worth a jaw-dropping $84 billion by 2029 as the technology’s capabilities continue to soar. This continued spread of 3D printing tech makes it highly likely that you and I will, eventually, interact with products, homes, buildings, toys, prosthetics, medical models and implants made with this tech.

    To say that we’re excited for the future of this tech is underselling things.

    #6 I Turned My Workshop Key In To A Chainsaw

    This is the silliest thing I've ever made xD
    When I first fantasized about getting a 3D printer I always thought about all the useful things I could print with it, like replacement parts, etc. But ever since I got it, I catch myself having way to much fun making useless funny stuff :)

    One of the coolest things about this tech is that it completely shifts timelines. If you urgently need protective medical gear (like healthcare workers did during the pandemic) or a niche replacement part for an important piece of machinery, you can, effectively, use a 3D printer to get what you need instantly instead of waiting days, weeks, or months.

    Meanwhile, companies can use this speed to iterate on prototypes and test out products incredibly quickly.

    #7 Just Finished Printing And Painting This Celtic Wolf Head. Super Happy With How The Copper Details Came Out!

    Printed this vertical on my setup to get all the clean details on the knotwork. For the finish, I went with a dark base and used a dry brushing technique to make the copper and silver elements really pop.
    What do you guys think of the look?

    #9 I Made A Desk Corner Lamp

    I made a large wooden one of these for my living room last year and decided making a mini one was the perfect way to learn cad.
    This is my first original design: a simple, minimalist corner desktop LED lamp. It’s designed to sit neatly in a corner and cast a soft, indirect glow on the wall. The lamp uses a cheap $7 LED strip from Amazon and prints in one piece, sitting at 10inches tall.

    3D printing can be incredibly efficient, quick, economical, and even eco-friendly. The technology has come a long way over the past few decades since it was created.

    Even though the hype surrounding 3D printing has dimmed, the tech has proven to be very solid. It is practical and commercially viable in the manufacturing and automotive industries.

    It is now used in a wide range of niches, from mass manufacturing and medicine to everyday maintenance (e.g., part replacement), hobbyist DIY, and even art.

    #10 So My Teenager Wanted A Headphone Stand

    #12 My Friends Showed Me Their 7 Yr Old Son's Drawing. 2 Months Later, I Surprised Him With The Real Thing

    My friends showed me a sketch their 7 year old son, Teddy, had drawn. I immediately knew I wanted to turn this zap ray into a real thing for him, while keeping and expanding on all of the different details he had envisioned in his original concept.
    Teddy's vision was for the zap ray to transport him in and out of the TV so he can meet the characters in one of his favourite shows, Dragon Ball. So of course, he would also need a way to remotely control it (last pic).
    Two months later, this is what I surprised him with (my cat, Cosmo, for scale!).

    #14 The Scale Map Of The USA Is Complete!

    This project has been a work in progress for the better part of 9 months, I've been slowly printing each state as I have the time. Finally added Alaska today to complete the map.
    Because each one is (on average) less than 10mm thick, this whole project actually didn't use that much filament (my best estimate is 3-4kg).
    The scale of Hawaii is a little larger than it should be; the iteration of files I was using had the scaling a little off and I didn't notice until it was finished printing. Haven't decided if it's worth re-printing yet.

    Earlier, Bored Panda interviewed Germany-based computer vision engineer Sricharan Chiruvolu. He was kind enough to share his thoughts on 3D printing, including its applications and upsides, with our team.

    He emphasized that 3D printing has affected the common consumer goods market, allowing for more personalized, custom-made items, whether you’re talking about phone cases or prosthetics.

    “Also, it [3D printing] helps to bring down the production cost for a few products, giving customers more access to distinctive designs,” the expert told us earlier.

    One huge upside of this technology is that it cuts the costs of creating prototypes. This way, businesses can quickly and cheaply test new products, parts, and designs.

    #17 I 3D Printed A Life Sized Trex On A Sidewinder X2

    This was actually for last Halloween but I put it back up this year. Someone was saying Reddit might be interested in it. Feel free to ask any questions.
    Wife also suggested I try to get some sort of Guinness book of world record on this. I don’t know how one would do that so if anyone had any ideas let me know.

    “It has brought about faster distribution of prototypes, thus hastening market entry for new products, while on-demand creation has also prolonged product life for many consumers,” Chiruvolu explained.

    “Through 3D printing, waste can be reduced by using only the required materials for each product; it also supports local production that could reduce transit-related emissions.”

    #20 "3D Printers Are A Waste Of Money!". Oh Yeah? Well

    The bottom of my deodorant broke and there was still like a quarter of it left. So I grabbed my $50 calibers and took some measurements.
    Then I fired up my $2000/year CAD program on my $3000 computer and designed a replacement in a few minutes.
    I then used the FREE slicer that came with my $1500 3D printer and after 20 minutes, I had a 15 cent replacement.
    This saved nearly $2 in deodorant that I would have had to throw away.
    All said and done I saved I saved -$6548.15!
    Totally worth it! Engineering School really has helped me save money!

    “Many materials used in 3D printing are recyclable or biodegradable, thus offering green alternatives; through simplifying maintenance processes, this technology can help prolong the life of products. This helps reduce overall waste and promotes a circular economy mindset where materials are reused and repurposed rather than discarded.”

    #22 Absolutely Blown Away By Wood Pla, This Might Be My New Favorite Thing

    Made a dice tower & box for a friend and wow I'm just blown away by this filament. it's amazing how with just a little bit of work how much this passes for real wood. Model by Platcham

    Meanwhile, there’s lots of potential for 3D printing to rapidly revolutionize healthcare and medicine, too.

    “Advances in bioprinting could make it possible to 3D print organs for transplantation, and more complex medical items will be made using improved multi-material printing,” the expert told Bored Panda.

    That’s on top of the benefits for industry.

    #25 I Made Ancient Rome As A Printable Miniature. Looking For Some Feedback

    Been working on ancient city models lately and finally finished Rome.
    Trying to find the right balance between detail and printability was probably the hardest part.
    Curious what you guys think. Anything you'd change?

    #27 Peak Laziness Achieved: I 3D Printed A Hand So I Don't Have To Use My Own

    I got tired of the grueling physical labor of raising my arm every time the sun was in my eyes, so I designed a wearable face hand. It features a fully adjustable strap and provides 100% autonomous sun shading.
    Is it stupid? Yes. Does it actually work flawlessly? Also yes.

    “Larger build volumes and faster printing rates will enable 3D printing to be a practical choice for mass manufacturing, opening up previously unheard-of possibilities in a variety of industries. Envision entire neighborhoods filled with quickly and effectively built 3D-printed homes, transforming the housing market and tackling problems like disaster relief and affordable housing,” Chiruvolu mused.

    “Furthermore, there is even more potential when artificial intelligence and 3D printing are combined. AI is able to optimize designs for material efficiency, strength, and weight, resulting in products that are not only highly functional and sustainable but also inventive.”

    #28 3D Printed Hobby Desk Storage Wall

    Finally finished printing the last few custom parts for my hobby desk storage walls. The base pieces are the Multiboard project. Really loved the way the paint racks turned out. I think dedicated bottle holder racks that are more popular in style would have been far less versatile. I'm also really happy with the gridfinity shelf that holds my small tools that get used frequently. Much more convenient to pull the small organizer off the wall, into the desk, and use the tools right there. I was worried about the weight of the large bottles of various paint liquids on top of the drawers, but those are very solid. I think the only part I'm not in love with is that I didn't have a vision of the whole thing when I started, so it's printed in a mishmash of various blues instead of a unified color theme... Oh well, maybe v2.0

    #30 The Print That Got Me A Job

    I went from unemployed graduate to now working at a pretty sweet job!
    As we all know job markets are pretty rough around the world especially in the UK for new grads.
    So I started off offering 3D printing as a service as well as selling on Etsy to support myself.
    I also help out occasionally in my local community and a local property manager needed a statue for the front of his building!
    I took a 3d scan of an existing statue with my iPhone then re modelled it with nomad and fusion.
    I did basic FEA of the cut blocks at the base and adjusted the infill to be a bit stronger towards the base as the total weight sits around 30-40kg of PETG (I cannot remember the exact weight now as this was 3 months ago)
    Total print time was a bit over 1200 hours and took over 15 days of straight printing (very little failures or re-prints needed). The entire print was joined together with a mix of industrial glue (I think the name was CT something) plastic welder, filler, 3D pen and of course the mighty solder to help clean up some rough edges. The base half of the statue is screwed to the building as I just used Bambu slicer to add holes in all the blocks.
    My total spend on material was £230ish and I was paid £1000. (Yeah I was definitely underpaid but this was my first and maybe my last time doing something this big!)
    Safe to say the guy was super impressed and asked if I needed a job as to put it in his words: if you can design and print a statue, you can handle spreadsheets and talking to people.
    For anyone concerned about weather or longevity. It’s covered in thick coats of paint and clear coats to finish it off.
    To note: the manager did say he was quoted 3 months and £2.5k for plaster which is why he wanted a faster solution and turned to 3d printing.
    To anyone really concerned about longevity, property folk don’t really care and just want the job done quick and dirty as it’s not really their concern in 10-20 years time. Hence why I was lowballed at £1k🤣

    #33 Office Chair Wheel Guards To Safe Your Cables And Pets

    #34 My Brother And I Designed Our Own 3D-Printed Metal Watch

    A few years ago, u/raceking37 and I decided to create our own digital watch. The project was inspired by a few vintage HDSP-2000 LED matrix displays that we had acquired. These displays were first introduced in the 1970s and have a really unique look, especially under a microscope (as shown in the last image). They're quite difficult to photograph with my phone, though, so they look much nicer in person than they do in these photos. The watch uses an ATTINY1616 microcontroller. The metal case of the watch is SLM 3D-printed in stainless steel.

    #38 3D Printed PC Case

    After months of work, I'm delighted to be able to present the Mk01: a 3D-printed mid-tower PC case !
    A PC case for mini ITX and micro ATX motherboards, customizable, upgradeable, with a retro futuristic, minimalist and playful design!
    For ventilation and airflow, it can accommodate two 120mm fans on the front. The top and bottom are perforated for improved cooling. At the rear, you can add an 80 mm fan for extraction.
    All the pc parts fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and are screwed together. The outer parts of the pc are magnetized. You can open the pc at any time, without unscrewing, change the pc’s style without reprinting the complete case, print custom parts
    What do you think of it?

    #39 This Is Exactly Why I Bought A Printer Two Months Ago

    Finished printing a heavily modified PC case I’ve been working on and wanted to share the result here since the whole thing was printed on my Bambu P1S.

    The design started from an FF04-style case, but I ended up modifying it quite a bit to fit modern hardware and my own layout ideas. It’s now housing my main gaming SFF PC, so this thing is fully functional and not just a display print. So many iterations of parts as well in the last photo lol.

    Printed in Polymaker HT PLA GF, and overall I’m really happy with how clean the panels and structural parts came out. The P1S handled the job surprisingly well considering the number of large parts involved.

    Honestly though, printing something this size really made me want a larger-format printer someday, especially something like a Prusa CORE One XL with the toolchanger/index system, just to avoid splitting parts so much and to experiment more with multi-material setups.

    Still dialing in some finishing touches, but the case is basically done now and running daily.

    #40 Fully 3D Printed Life Size Horus

    5 months and 1752 individual 3d printed pieces later, I have a Horus Lupercal.
    Quick stats:
    Total tip top height: 14’ 5” | 4.4m
    Top of Horus’s head: 11’ 9” | 3.6m
    Human: 5’ 5” | 165cm
    Why not paint him before assembling? This isn’t a mini 😁. A practical was the only way to see what issues will pop up, if it can even support itself, if something will break or if I need to reinforce something. Better for something to happen now, than to waste weeks painting only to find out it all falls apart.
    He is missing his talon, but a combination of me not thinking through access and not enough floor height, I could not add it yet. Even the Worldbreaker is at a slightly higher level due to the pallets. It’s not flush in the arm. So I had to use cords to hold it for now.
    I did have to saw a portion of his leg armor off as it was interfering with his forearm. These things I couldn’t account for in theory.
    His arms and pauldrons are held in place with rods, hooks and a massive heavy duty turnbuckle. Basically the same exact set up in my space marine, but beefier.
    There is no additional support in his legs. Just straight up hollow plastic.
    I will have a more detailed post in the future regarding cost, filament, weight, waste and other technical details for this project.

    #50 Why Have I Overlooked Suction Cups For So Long?

    I needed something to hang my dish cloths on, so they could dry out. At first, I thought about using tape, but then I realized that I could probably attach them with suction cups so I could easily remove them when I’m cleaning… and it worked perfectly!
    I’m definitely going to consider using suction cups more often in my projects where it makes sense!

    #53 Charging Stand For Pebble Time 2

    It's so easy and quick to charge, but I thought it could use a bit of extra flair. So I designed a watch stand that doubles as a charger. The cable hides inside the charger through a cavity in the hollow stand. I had some 95A TPU that closely matched the blue silicone band, so decided to use that to make a non-slip foot!

    We’re pretty lucky to live in a world where almost anything we need is just a few clicks away. Whether we’re looking for a flower vase in the perfect shade of blue or socks covered in tiny frogs, chances are we can find the exact item online. Still, most of what we buy is mass-produced, which makes creating something with your own hands feel especially meaningful.

    Below, we gathered some of the most beautiful crafts and DIY projects shared on the Something I Made subreddit. From impressive paintings to clothes that took hours of work to bring to life, these posts show just how much care and talent can go into putting a piece together from scratch. Check them out, and don’t forget to upvote your favorites.

    #1 I Decorated The Side Of My New Shed With Trees Made From Old Fence Boards

    #2 Manta Ray Ceramic Sconce I Made

    #3 A Prom Dress

    A Prom Dress Fabric: I tried to create something that feels like movement. somewhere between flames and petals, flowing across the body instead of just sitting on it.
    Hand-beaded entirely with glass beads on orange tulle, every line is placed to shape and guide the form.

    It makes sense why buying something ready-made feels like the easier route. Sitting down to crochet a sweater or glue together a piece of home decor takes hours of focus. 

    You could just order what you need, have it show up at your door, then spend your free time relaxing on the couch. There’s real appeal in that. Even so, picking up a hobby comes with a long list of perks that scrolling or shopping can’t really match.

    #6 I Made This Leather Backpack Called “Toshiro” Using A Pattern My Dad Created

    I recently finished this handmade leather backpack called Toshiro. It’s crafted from veg tan leather, hand-dyed, and lined with pigskin.
    The design comes from a pattern my dad created years ago, and I took it on as a project to build it myself and bring it to life.
    Pretty proud of how it turned out and wanted to share it here. Let me know what you think or if you’d like to see more of the process!

    According to Time magazine, there’s nothing wrong with unwinding in front of a screen every now and then. 

    What researchers who study this stuff tend to point out, though, is that hobbies work differently from passive activities like watching shows or refreshing your feed. A real hobby seems to play a meaningful part in feeling healthy and content.

    #7 I Made A Ceramic Incense Holder Where The Incense Stick Becomes The Violin Bow

    I’ve been experimenting with small ceramic objects that still feel sculptural when they’re not being used.This one is meant to hold an incense stick so the stick becomes part of the form.

    #9 A Ceramic Lion Lamp I Made While Serving In Ukraine’s 3rd Army Corps

    A 2023 study published in Nature Medicine backs this up. The researchers looked at data pulled from five large studies, covering over 93,000 people spread across 16 countries, from the U.S. and Japan to China and much of Europe.

    Every participant was at least 65 years old, and more than 6 in 10 were dealing with ongoing mental or physical health conditions.

    #11 Hand-Felted A Wool Portrait Of My Friend's 17-Year-Old Cat. Learned A Lot From This One

    #12 I Call It The “Peacocking Shawl”—crocheted W A Lot Of Blood Swears And Tears

    © Photo: psychso86

    What they found was pretty telling. Folks who spent time on hobbies said they felt healthier, happier, and more satisfied with life overall, and they had fewer signs of depression than those who didn’t. The pattern showed up in every country involved. 

    The study can’t prove that hobbies directly caused those outcomes, but the researchers noted that they involve creativity, self-expression, and mental engagement, all of which tend to go hand in hand with feeling good.

    #13 The Beads Bouquet I Made For My Mother

    Just finished my first project with beads; I wanted to make something unique and nostalgic for my mother. She loves watching the sun go up in the morning, and I've always made her flowers in various forms and materials as the years went by. I wanted to make her the most beautiful bouquet I could, and it just is so beautiful when the sun hits it right! I also made the pot with a mold and some mix2mold casting clay thingy (I'm not sure how it's called in english, even in my language lol)!
    I hope this will inspire you in your projects :)

    #15 Maple Leaf Bowl I Carved From Walnut

    Time magazine also spoke with Daisy Fancourt, a professor of psychobiology and epidemiology at University College London, who broke down what makes a hobby different from other ways of spending your time.

    “One thing that separates a hobby from other kinds of leisure is that it involves the acquisition of skills, or learning,” she said. “Hobbies provide a sense of accumulation and growth—of stretching ourselves to improve or to meet new goals—and that can help us fulfill our needs for meaning and purpose.”

    #17 Tiny Flowers On Buttons

    Well-being research also tends to split happiness into two flavors. One is called hedonic, and it covers the quick hits of joy you get from things like a tasty snack or a good laugh. 

    The other is eudaimonic, which has more staying power and shows up when you feel genuinely accomplished or fulfilled.

    #19 A Little Free Ceramic Library

    Got ahold of an old newspaper box and painted it then filled it with leftover ceramics I’ve made over the years and never sold.

    #21 A Hand Carved Jewelery Box

    Hobbies, sometimes labeled “serious leisure pursuits” by academics, seem to fit squarely in that second category. Yazdan Mansourian, a senior lecturer and leisure researcher at Charles Sturt University in Australia, told Time that hobbies “support the more authentic dimensions of life and create conditions for self-actualization.”

    As he put it, “People are not only doing what they enjoy, but becoming who they really want to be.”

    #24 I Renew My Old Shirt By Hand Embroidery. What Do You Think? Thank You

    © Photo: Most_Big_7521

    If you need a nudge to get started, the Crafty Angels blog has a handful of suggestions worth considering. Origami is a low-cost way to work on your focus and coordination, and you can build up from basic paper cranes to some pretty detailed designs over time.

    Brush pen calligraphy is another solid pick if you like the idea of making your own greeting cards or wall art, with a modern feel to the lettering. Candle making, for instance, lets you mess around with waxes, wicks, and molds to come up with your own scents and shapes at home.

    Hopefully some of the projects in this list gave you a spark of inspiration to try something new. It doesn’t really matter what you pick, as long as it feels like something you’d enjoy sinking time into.

    #49 I Made An Ornamental Key Head For My House Key

    Posting as im super proud of myself. Ive been wanting this ornamental key design for my house key after seeing a US based company do them.
    Could not find anyone in the UK, so as you do, decided late last year that im going to make one for myself.
    After multiple rounds of 3D modelling and moulds, ive managed to make this gold plated version that im happy with.
    The blade isnt done yet, but the hard part is definitely over!

    A while back I posted on r/woodworking asking for feedback on a bookshelf design. Well, here it is all complete! Took longer than I would’ve liked, but I really like the result. I love unique furniture, and it makes it more special that we designed it together! Really, the idea was all hers, I just did the CAD and the building :)

    #76 Pleased With How This One Came Out

    My process is simple, using tape to set up each "line" and a palette knife to push the paint around within the set up area, then peel the tape. It's the endless repetition that is awfully long process that makes me question my own existence and everything else lol. Still, after about 2 to 4 months, I'm just in awe and glad to see these paintings before my eyes.

    Vous voyez le principe du wallet crypto au format carte bancaire ?

    Ça se compose d'une puce, d'un code, et de vos précieuses clés privées cryptos planquées dedans. Et bah figurez-vous que Baptistin Boilot, un chercheur de chez Ledger Donjon, vient de montrer qu'avec un laser, un scalpel et une sacrée dose de patience, on peut imposer un nouveau code à une carte Tangem sans jamais connaître l'ancien. C'est en tout cas la démonstration que vient de publier son labo, et le plus dingue, c'est que ça se joue sur un secure element Samsung certifié EAL6+, autrement dit le très haut du panier en matière de puces sécurisées.

    Un petit pulse laser d'une nanoseconde envoyé pile au bon endroit, et le taux de réussite pour remettre à zéro le code secret de la carte monte à 100 % !!

    Alors oui, Ledger Donjon c'est le laboratoire de sécurité de Ledger, concurrent frontal de Tangem, et Tangem n'a évidemment pas manqué de le rappeler. Sauf que la faille a été divulguée à la marque en février 2026, bien avant publication, donc tout a été fait dans les règles de l'art. Et puis Ledger n'a pas vraiment de leçons à donner niveau boulettes (rappelez-vous la fuite de sa base client ), donc on va juger le boulot technique plutôt que la rivalité commerciale.

    Leur cible, c'est l'instruction SetPin, celle qui gère le code protégeant vos fonds. Quelque part là-dedans, la puce se pose une question toute bête, du genre "cette carte est-elle en mode récupération ?". Et le tir laser vient fausser ce test à l'instant exact où il s'exécute. Il ne grille rien du tout hein, il fausse juste le résultat une fraction de seconde, ce qui permet à la puce d'accepter un nouveau code sans jamais vérifier le vôtre.

    Après, y'a quand même un sacré ticket d'entrée car pour en arriver là, les chercheurs ont ouvert la carte au scalpel, retiré le blindage métallique, dessoudé la puce, recâblé le tout sur une carte maison, et remplacé l'antenne NFC par une alimentation filaire pour piloter chaque signal. Un vrai travail d'orfèvre ! Ajoutez environ 250 000 dollars de matériel entre le laser, l'oscilloscope et la sonde électromagnétique et puis beaucoup de temps : 1 heure de balayage laser pour la première réussite, puis 2 heures par carte ensuite, sans parler de toute la R&D en amont.

    La puce se défend, en plus. Elle tient un compteur de fautes en mémoire flash et se verrouille pour de bon au bout de quelques centaines de ratés. Sauf que les chercheurs ont trouvé la parade qui est de couper l'alimentation au moment précis où la puce s'apprête à noter l'incident. Du coup le compteur ne grimpe quasiment plus, et une carte qui aurait dû se bloquer très vite a encaissé plus d'une journée de tirs laser !

    Alors, la question que vous vous posez forcément c'est : est-ce que votre Tangem est toujours fiable ? Pour vous, au quotidien, oui car il faut un accès physique à la carte. Puis l'opération laisse des dégâts parfaitement visibles (une carte charcutée au scalpel, ça se remarque), et je pense que personne ne va monter un labo à un quart de million pour siphonner votre wallet.

    Maintenant, c'est vrai que cette faille ne sera jamais corrigée, car les cartes Tangem n'embarquent aucun mécanisme de mise à jour du firmware. Ça peut vous sembler absurde, mais en fait c'est pas si con que ça parce que qui dit pas de mise à jour dit pas de mise à jour vérolée. Hé hé.

    Mais maintenant que le trou existe, et qu'aucun patch n'est possible, cela veut dire que toutes les cartes en circulation, dont la vôtre peut-être, restent vulnérables à vie. Et celle que vous achèteriez aujourd'hui ? Bah vulnérable tout pareil, tant que Tangem ne revoit pas son design.

    Alors oui, l'attaquant ne lit pas vos secrets, il prend juste le contrôle du wallet en lui imposant son propre code, un peu comme une carte à puce sécurisée qu'on déverrouillerait de force sans en lire le contenu. C'est pourquoi Tangem estime que le risque est quasi inexistant, en rappelant au passage que n'importe quel secure element finira au bout d'un moment par céder si on y consacre assez de temps et d'argent.

    Bref, si vous avez une Tangem au fond d'un tiroir, pas de panique, gardez-la juste bien à vous, parce que côté correctif, vous pourrez attendre longtemps, il n'y en aura jamais.

    Vous le savez, j'adore mon Kindle ! Je manque effectivement de temps pour lire tout ce que je voudrais mais bon, on verra ça quand la retraite sera là ^^.

    En attendant, ce que j'ignorais, c'est que sur les Kindle récents, il y a encore un petit navigateur web, plus exactement un vieux Chrome de 2019 bien planqué dans des menus qu'on n'ouvre jamais. Et c'est à ce module précisément que Tanguy Dubroca de Synacktiv s'est intéressé. Et en creusant, il a découvert qu'une faille s'y cachait et permettait de prendre le contrôle total de la liseuse avec votre compte Amazon en supplément salade tomate oignon.

    Son objectif premier c'était de comprendre comment prendre la main sur un Kindle verrouillé sans le jailbreaker. Alors il a fouillé dans le firmware de son Paperwhite 5 et y a découvert ce vieux Chrome et son moteur Webkit qu'une quinzaine d'années, prêt à céder à toutes ses demandes... niark niark.

    Il n'a eu plus qu'à piocher dans les vieilles failles déjà bien connues de Chrome et en a choisi une présentée dans le moteur Javascript V8 patchée par Google en 2022. Sauf que normalement, elle ne devait pas marcher sur un Kindle, parce qu'Amazon avait désactivé le composant vulnérable.

    Enfin, avait essayé...

    Parce que dans la commande censée le désactiver, il manquait deux petits tirets. Une faute de frappe qui faisait que l'option était ignorée en silence, et donc que le moteur JS d'époque restait allumé avec cette porte grande ouverte...

    L'attaque n'a ensuite besoin que d'une seule chose qui est que vous ouvriez un site web piégé dans le navigateur de la liseuse. Pas de panique donc, car ça ne se déclenche pas tout seul quand vous recevez un livre, mais une fois la page web ouverte, elle peut trafiquer la mémoire de l'appareil, ce qui permet au chercheur de prendre la main sur le navigateur pour ensuite, via une seconde vulnérabilité dans le composant qui lance les applis, obtenir des droits administrateur et donc l'accès complet.

    Une fois avec ça, il peut tout faire comme exécuter n'importe quel programme, vous espionner, détourner votre compte Amazon, et même rebondir vers les autres appareils présents sur votre réseau Wi-Fi. La totale !!

    Dubroca a prévenu Amazon en décembre 2025, qui a classé le truc en critique, lâché 20 000 $ de prime, et poussé un correctif dans le firmware 5.19.2 en janvier. La mise à jour se fait toute seule une fois le Kindle branché et connecté au Wi-Fi alors si votre liseuse dort dans un tiroir depuis des mois, un petit coup de Wi-Fi et elle se mettra à jour, hop. D'ailleurs c'est la deuxième faille Kindle en 7 mois , après celle du livre audio piégé. Deux équipes françaises, deux fois le même appareil, ça commence à faire beaucoup pour de vieilles liseuses qu'Amazon laisse doucement vieillir .

    Bref, une liseuse c'est comme un ordinateur, ça se pirate mais ça peut se mettre à jour ^^. Ouf !

    Rat-de-Cave
    Rat-de-Cave : un support de bougie bien spécial ! Un rat de cave, derrière son nom intrigant et presque animal, est l’un de ces objets anciens qui racontent à eux seuls un pan entier de l’histoire des métiers, des caves, du vin et de l’éclairage avant l’électricité.
    Objet modeste, souvent oublié, il a pourtant été indispensable pendant des siècles…

    Qu’est-ce qu’un rat de cave ?  

    À l’origine, le rat de cave est une bougie mince, longue et enroulée sur elle-même, utilisée pour éclairer les caves, les escaliers sombres ou les recoins difficiles d’accès.
    On le décrit souvent comme une « bougie mince et longue, enroulée sur elle-même, dont on se sert pour éclairer une cave » .
    Cette mèche, souvent imprégnée de cire ou de stéarine, brûlait lentement et produisait une lumière suffisante pour circuler dans les lieux obscurs.  
    Son nom vient de l’image d’un petit animal furtif se glissant dans les caves : un rat qui éclaire plutôt qu’il ne ronge. L’étymologie renvoie à cette association imagée entre la mèche enroulée et la queue du rat.

    Un éclairage indispensable dans les caves et les métiers du vin  

    Avant l’électricité, les caves étaient des lieux dangereux : obscurité totale, marches irrégulières, barriques alignées comme des obstacles, et surtout présence possible de gaz issus de la fermentation.  
    Le rat de cave était donc l’outil de base du vigneron, du tonnelier, du marchand de vin ou de l’inspecteur.

    Un détecteur de gaz rudimentaire mais vital  

    Les rats de cave servaient aussi à détecter la présence de dioxyde de carbone, gaz lourd, inodore et mortel, qui s’accumule au sol lors de la fermentation.  
    Si la flamme vacillait ou s’éteignait, il fallait quitter la cave immédiatement !
    Ainsi, cette simple bougie était un véritable instrument de survie.

    Des formes multiples : un objet protéiforme  

    Contrairement à ce que l’on pourrait croire, le rat de cave n’a pas une forme unique. Il désigne un type d’éclairage, pas un modèle précis.
     Les versions les plus courantes  
    - Mèche enroulée sur elle-même, trempée dans la cire : la forme la plus simple, économique, parfois appelée pain de chandelle, pouvant atteindre 2,50 m de long.   
    - Tige hélicoïdale en métal avec poussoir : permet de faire monter la chandelle au fur et à mesure de sa combustion et de récupérer la cire fondue.  
    - Support en fer forgé ou en bois, à poser ou à suspendre.  
    - Modèles basculants pour bateaux, conçus pour rester stables malgré le tangage.

    Un éclairage adaptable  

    Le rat de cave pouvait :  
    - se poser sur une table ou une barrique,  
    - se suspendre à un mur,  
    - se fixer sur les rebords des tonneaux,  
    - être glissé dans une poche pour inspection rapide.  
    Cette polyvalence explique son succès dans les caves, les greniers, les ateliers et même les cales de bateaux.

    ET quand le rat de cave désigne… une personne !  

    Le terme a aussi pris un sens social et professionnel.  
    Sous l’Ancien Régime et jusqu’au XIXᵉ siècle, les commis des Contributions Indirectes, chargés de contrôler les vins et alcools, étaient surnommés rats de cave.  
    Ils inspectaient les caves pour vérifier les stocks, les taxes et les éventuelles fraudes. Leur réputation était redoutée, et le terme avait une connotation péjorative …
    Cette évolution sémantique montre comment un objet peut donner son nom à un métier, comme le soulignent certains puristes : le rat de cave a désigné l’employé chargé d’éclairer ou de guider dans les caves, puis l’inspecteur des alcools ...  

    Un objet qui raconte une époque  

    Le rat de cave est un témoin précieux d’un monde où :  
    - l’électricité n’existait pas,  
    - la lumière était rare, mobile et précieuse,  
    - les caves étaient des lieux de travail essentiels,  
    - les métiers du vin étaient étroitement surveillés,  
    - la sécurité dépendait d’une simple flamme.
    On le retrouve dans la littérature, dans les musées du vin, dans les collections d’objets anciens, et parfois dans les brocantes sous des formes variées.

    Pourquoi cet objet fascine encore aujourd’hui ?  

    Parce qu’il incarne :  
    - la débrouille : une simple mèche pour éclairer un monde entier ;  
    - la technique ancienne : spirales métalliques, poussoirs ingénieux, supports forgés ;  
    - l’histoire du vin : fermentation, gaz, caves profondes ;  
    - l’histoire sociale : inspecteurs, cabarets, tavernes, métiers disparus ;  
    - l’imaginaire : un nom évocateur, presque littéraire.
    Le rat de cave est un objet humble mais chargé de sens, parfait pour illustrer un article sur les objets anciens, les métiers oubliés ou l’histoire du vin.

    Le rat de cave n’est pas seulement un bougeoir : c’est un symbole.  

    Symbole de l’ingéniosité humaine face à l’obscurité, de la vie dans les caves, des dangers de la fermentation, des contrôles fiscaux d’autrefois, et d’un monde où la lumière se portait à la main ...

    Notre objet du jour : un rat-de-cave en provenance directe d'une ancienne cave de maturation en Champagne.

    Rat-de-cave en fer forgé à fût torsadé
    Ce rat-de-cave de style ancien est une pièce unique en fer forgé, au charme rustique et authentique.  
    Son fût torsadé permet de faire monter ou descendre la bougie selon son usure, grâce à un mécanisme ingénieux typique des chandeliers de travail du XVIIIᵉ et XIXᵉ siècle.  
    Entièrement façonné à la main, il témoigne du savoir-faire traditionnel des forgerons d’art, avec une spirale régulière, une patine sombre et une poignée en volute élégante.
    - L’objet est entièrement réalisé en fer forgé plein, solide et lourd.  
    - Il pèse 1150 grammes, ce qui lui confère une excellente stabilité.  
    - Ses dimensions sont de 21 cm de hauteur, 14 cm de largeur et 11 cm de profondeur.  
    - Sa patine noire lui donne un aspect brut et ancien, typique des pièces de forge.  
    - Celui-ci date probablement du XXᵉ siècle.  
    - Il s’agit d’un porte-bougie réglable, aussi appelé rat-de-cave.  
    - L’objet est en très bon état général, avec quelques traces d’usage cohérentes avec son âge.
    - Le fût spiralé permet de régler la hauteur de la bougie selon son niveau de fonte.  
    - La base circulaire repose sur trois pieds recourbés, à la fois décoratifs et stables.  
    - La poignée en forme de crochet, terminée par une volute, rappelle le style artisanal rural.  
    - La patine naturelle du fer n’a pas été restaurée, conservant tout son cachet d’atelier ancien.
    - Ce rat-de-cave s’intègre parfaitement dans une décoration industrielle, médiévale ou campagnarde.  
    - Il peut être utilisé comme chandelier fonctionnel ou comme objet de collection.  
    - Sa silhouette torsadée attire le regard et évoque l’ambiance des ateliers et maisons anciennes.

    - Objet rare et authentique, idéal pour les amateurs de fer forgé traditionnel.  
    - Convient parfaitement aux collectionneurs de luminaires anciens ou aux passionnés d’artisanat d’époque.  
    - Pièce unique, prête à illuminer un intérieur de caractère ou à enrichir une collection.
