Talk:POODLE

Rename this article?

Is it a good idea to move POODLE to POODLE attack? Currently POODLE attack redirects to Transport Layer Security#POODLE attack. 152.2.167.168 (talk) 07:54, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Or POODLE (security exploit), like BREACH (security exploit)? 152.2.167.168 (talk) 07:58, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

However that article on CRIME is a just at CRIME. Is there another thing that uses the POODLE acronym that might need to be disambiguated against? Granted there have been debates recently on if titles that might lead to a mistaken impression about what the article is about should be disambiguated even if not otherwise needed. ( See the various cattle, goat, chicken, etc. requested moves. ) PaleAqua (talk) 14:03, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Oppose: I think it's fine to keep the current title POODLE, as there is no need to disambiguate. Chmarkine (talk) 17:58, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Etymology?

Why POODLE and not for example HOUNDDOG or maybe LABRADOR RETRIEVER? Oh, apparently there is something called Padding oracle attack. Palosirkka (talk) 15:34, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Because poodles are very good at barking at people and security. (I have a miniature poodle and that’s what it does all the time.). Misc Practice (talk) 02:13, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

History / time line

We probably should put together a time line of events. From the date in the paper the attack was either discovered or at least documented in September. Earliest news articles I've seen were ones like the verge story on October 14 7:16 pm ( timezone? ) with earlier stories such as Decrypted Tech Oct 14, 7:23 AM ( again timezone? ) and Microsoft Security Advisory 3009008 saying that information was coming. Some of the rumor sources say that the information release would happen mid day Oct 15. CVE has an original release date of the 14th. PaleAqua (talk) 16:02, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
