Started because of the following twitter from tqbf
STRIDE is the dumbest acronym in security.
There are two kinds of dumb:
- dumb == harmful
- dumb == pathetic
STRIDE has a little bit of both in it, it’s pretty high on the dumb scale.
I’m taking votes for either. What’s the overall dumbest term in security (acronym or not)?
I’ll start: the dumbest (#2) thing I had to learn for the CISSP was “salami slicing.” The concept is OK, but the name makes me shake my head in shame. I shudder using this term to actually describe something to someone else.
EDIT: Ok, it might be “superzapper.”
