I think DROWN was kiiinda pushing it.
- tptacek 6y agoIt's memorable, and DROWN is an _amazing_ attack.
- ljhsiung 6y agoI agree that it was amazing and super cool! Rather it's just a comment on the relevance of the name to the actual attack, contorted to the purpose of a cool acronym. Just to stoke some fires, I think poodle is also in that bag.
- tptacek 6y agoThe comment isn't wrong about the name, I'm just compelled to say how awesome DROWN is every time it's mentioned anywhere. It's really spectacular work.
- exikyut 6y agoHmm, the site design is rather similar (done by the same person): https://drownattack.com/ https://drownattack.com/
