Genius!


Billy: Wow, thats a cool 0-day.

Joe: You mean an RDV.

Billy: What?

Joe: Only the bad guys call it 0-day now, haven't you heard?

Billy: Nope.

Joe: Yeah Gadi Evron and friends didn't like the term 0-day anymore, because
it sounds too evil elite hacker and not whitehat enough, so n3td3v came up
with "RDV".

Billy: So who is n3td3v?

Joe: A guy in the underground who keeps getting blamed for being some dude
called Gobbles.

Billy: Oh right, i'm a whitehat, so I better start replacing 0-day with RDV
now. I want to be politically correct and don't want to be mistaken as a
blackhat, because only blackhats call it 0-day now.

Joe: Yes, not everyone likes n3td3v, but its kind of catchy, so people kept
with "RDV".

Billy: Yeah, thats sweet.

Joe: Exactly. Us whitehats have got to stick together and distance ourselves
from catchphrases thought up by the evil blackhat community.

Billy: Whitehats rule! Down with the blackhats.

Joe: Whitehat supremacy, way to go!
