For what it's worth, I think the current name is fine and I've always known what FTW stood for (it's stated on the first line on the front page / readme file of both go-ftw and the original ftw. I wasn't aware this was unknown / an issue. If someone will not read the first line of your project then that's a them problem, not a you problem :stuck_out_tongue:)
But, always happy to make alternative name suggestions :grinning:
Of the suggestions so far:
wtf
westy
is a nice name, but I also fear it's not specific enough / doesn't mention WAFsWeb Application Firewall EvaluatoR
Web Application Firewall Evaluation Routine
Web Application Firewall Evaluation Runner :grinning: (:arrow_backward: I particularly like this one!)
Web Application Firewall Evaluation Runtime
Web Application Firewall ExerciseR :sweat_smile:
Web Application Firewall Exercise Routine
Web Application Firewall Evaluating Robot :robot:
Application Firewall Tester
Application Firewall TestER
The Application Firewall Tester
(The) Reliable Application Firewall TestER :sweat_smile:

These are great, thanks! I had wafr
in my head but couldn't come up with a good explanation for the acronym.
Real Application Firewall Tester
Yeah, unfortunately, raft
is taken by the raft protocol.
Let me add adding my two cents:
Waf Testing Helper: wth
!
Please pronounce phonetically.
Please pronounce phonetically.
ppp
?
wth
is actually a fun idea. It could also stand for what the heck
, which would be a funny little insider :)
We have been thinking about renaming the project. The name
go-ftw
was a quick win to replace the retiredftw
.Our reasons to rename the project are:
go
prefix isn't meaningful to users in any wayftw
is not obvious (it is "framework for testing WAFs")Candidates
