ASN.1 is quite well known because of X.509 certificates though! XDR, yeah, I had to look up as well.

  SNMP is also a reason ASN.1 is well known...

    And LDAP is pretty popular as well.

Author doesn't know history. XDR pre-dates ASN.1 by a long while. Then there was NDR. ASN.1 is an utter horror that crawled out from under the festering corpse of the OSI stack. Many, many recent CVE's are bugs in ASN.1 parsers. Look up DER/BER but they are only some of the shitty ways ASN.1 has of creating complexity enough to hide CVE bugs in. I hate ASN.1.
