Whitelist to AllowList and Blacklist to DenyList #23

Closed 5eanT closed 4 years ago

5eanT commented 4 years ago

Hello,

This pull request is to propose please changing the terminology from Application Whitelisting and Blacklisting to Application AllowListing and DenyListing.

I chose DenyList over Blocklist based on what SANS seems to be changing in their curriculum, and to further distance the new terminology from the old if it adds any context.

Reference to chromium contribution by Microsoft: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=981129

Thank you for considering,

@5eanT
