Same. You can't really control what the mainstream does with technical terms and titles, but it's worth trying to use good descriptive vocabulary where possible.

Yep - it's enshrined in the Certified Ethical Hacker qualification, which was a bit naff in practice (I did V7 of this back in '09 I think) - my colleagues & I spent most of the week long course messing with the instructor's router, which was frankly rather more fun!

Thanks for the feedback, I had planned to pass the certification and I see we're having fun there 😆
However, I don't know what "naff" means do you have a synonym? 😅
You are welcome :)
