| To be fair, a monster is scary so it fits. Malice in the middle perhaps would have been less confusing. |

| > Gender-neutral variant of man-in-the-middle Countless and countless, no, millions of male developers felt discriminated against whenever someone called it Man-in-the-middle. This went on unaccounted for for decades! Finally we’re being seen! Not to mention all the women who were misogynisticly attacked by assuming women can’t be hackers. Finally justice. It’s very important that we’re getting our priorities right when talking about security vulnerabilities! |

We're finally making progress on de-centering hominid perspectives in favor of a more diverse range of natural intelligences! | |

I haven't heard of Heidi before... but she's apparently one of the cast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_and_Bob#Cast_of_characte... |

| I prefer the chaotic option of MITM-in-the-middle. (Mallory-in-the-middle is OK too.) |

| Monkey-in-the-middle would've worked since someone could monkey with your packets and it's already an established name for a children's game |

| Or, you know, man-in-the-middle because that was already a correct, perfectly clear use of English. |

| The women developers would like to cede this gender-neutral replacement back to the men, we don't want to be included. /s I absolutely love monster-in-the-middle. Big round of applause to whoever thought of that. |
