😆☝ That's a good one!

I don't understand why the security world have great names for all the things... ie: vulnerabilities, ransomware, malware, tools etc.

• heartbleed
• ghidra
• ryuk (death note)
• emotet
• gh0st

The biggest problem names that I've come across aren't the obscure names it's the ones that cause overlapping concepts with common words. Index is a terrible word. I work with data in oracle. Indexing can refer to the oracle indexes or tables that we call index tables (with very similar usage) and then id's get referred to as indexes. It gets really confusing really fast when you get into detailed conversations.

Best: Python auth method named - can_haz_access

Worst: C# local array variable name, used for holding split string parts - partsIsParts. I can only assume this is in reference to an 80s Wendy’s commercial... but still...

NOTE: these replies are thoroughly tongue-in-cheek
