> Gender-neutral variant of man-in-the-middle
Countless and countless, no, millions of male developers felt discriminated against whenever someone called it Man-in-the-middle. This went on unaccounted for for decades! Finally we’re being seen!
Not to mention all the women who were misogynisticly attacked by assuming women can’t be hackers.
Finally justice. It’s very important that we’re getting our priorities right when talking about security vulnerabilities!

As a sentient cephalopod who has enjoyed hacking staff computers when I slip out of my tank at the National Aquarium every night, I can only say it feels good to be seen. We're finally making progress on de-centering hominid perspectives in favor of a more diverse range of natural intelligences!
