PortSwigger and Burp Suite are... interesting (poor?) names when it comes up among those who don't already know it, but that aside, they're very common tool in the industry for web pentesting and some of their articles are really good. It's also not a Q&A site like Experts Exchange is, and you don't have to pay for the answers, just for their software product.
- wglb 6y agoI'm reminded of Don Lancaster saying that "Fluke" is a bad name for voltmeters and other electrical instruments. They have done well enough in the 20 years since he said that.
- lucb1e 6y agoI don't doubt that a company can do well regardless of its name. PortSwigger is making a killing off all the pentesting companies, but I'm still allowed to find it a bad name and awkward to bring up outside the in-crowd.
- reificator 6y agoThe difference is that Fluke doesn't sound offensive in a URL unless maybe your name is Luke.
- reificator 6y agoI'm not implying anything about the site being a Q&A site. I'm just saying that while Pen Island might be a fine name for your pen store, you shouldn't make it your url. Spacing and casing make all the difference.

- lucb1e 6y agoThere's a Chinese company near us in Germany. We don't know how it's supposed to be pronounced, but it sounds like "weich ei", meaning "soft egg". Handy nasty is even better, though.
