@teganburns Alice and Bob are the names used when discussing cryptography problems. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

@DuckyMcDuckFace I'm with you. BUT I'm pretty sure the bad girl wasn't named Eve in the book.
Who did the girl in the middle attack? -
@sunfishcc
The one in the middle snooping on the conversation is named Eve in the examples because presumably its short for eavesdropping. Smart move huh? -
@bitsnpieces man in the middle is Chuck, and then there's Dave.
Eve is the 5th participant.
A,B,C,D,E
We aren't there yet -
@sunfishcc It's not about alphabetical order. It's Eve(sdropper). Mallory is usually used as someone spreading malware, Faythe as a trusted-by-reputation party (vpn, hoster, escrow, etc), Grace is the government (usually evil, of course), Sybil is someone trying to cheat rating systems, etc.
-
@bittersweet even your setup is correct. Eve should be the 3rd attacker. Chuck should be the guy also saw encrypted msg. Where is him?
-
@sunfishcc Because in the list of names, Sunfishcc and Bittersweet are commonly used as people who argue online about inconsequential details while Eve steals their passwords.
-
@bittersweet @gitpull that Eve 🤦♂️ I downloaded Tor browser, so at least Eve can't trace me
-
@sunfishcc But Grace might... Grace has resources, has Judy gagged, and is best friends with Heidi, who built Tor for Grace. That's why I use Patrick, who's not in the list. It's a postal dove.

Well Gary is my emu, which I use to carry encrypted hard drives around town in his saddlebags. Flawless plan, because when I'm riding my emu it's such a baffling sight that everyone forgets to check my cargo. Gary is also unaffected by viruses, he's a tough bird. Check-mate, Eve, Grace and Mallory!
Look how they made us listen to bob and alice love story ! 💤💤💤
