(a semi-random suggestion turning into a neat idea) A couple of my colleagues now have a few [Have I Been Pwned](https://haveibeenpwned.com) stickers. One wanted to stickerbomb some of their personal gear, and another I offered just because I could. That second colleague queried how I ended up with so many stickers in the first place, which reminded me… It’s kind of amusing to think that what started as [a kind of random, barely-paying-attention](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2zykoOIHVs&t=3402s) suggestion turning into [Troy having one of those gear-turning moments](https://www.troyhunt.com/welcome-to-the-new-have-i-been-pwned-domain-search-subscription-service/#:~:text=You%20can%20see%20the%20gears%20turning%20around%20in%20my%20head%20as%20I%20read%20his%20suggestion), which ultimately resulted in making his life a hell of a lot easier, by the sounds of it, to revamp the HIBP Domain Search feature into a subscription service that, if memory serves correct, *also* ties the breach lookup API in on top of this. Did I mention that after initially reaching out a few days later to mention more thought went into that idea, Troy and myself brainstormed the idea a little? (*note in editing: …no i didn’t, otherwise i wouldn’t have pulled the post to add this*) There were some sane ideas: ![troy: "Yeah, thought so. I'm thinking of doing "Pwned 1" as the existing 10RPM API key + small domain search, then "Pwned 2" for 50RPM and larger domain search etc" troy: "Need a nice name now as "RPM" alone no longer makes sense" brendo: "what about Pwned nn, where "nn" is the RPM?" brendo: "makes it sound like it has more value to it, in a way" troy: "Because if I make the plan do both RPM and domain search then using one and not the other to name it is misleading" ](https://brendo.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-10-at-12.23.07-1024x837.png) And there were some more... let's say chaotic (totally not plagiarising, even if accidental) ideas: ![brendo: "but what about Pwned 1, Pwned 1 Pro, Pwned 1 Pro Max, and Pwned 1 Pro Max Ultra?" also brendo: "...oh right too wordy" timestamp: Jul 17, 2023, 1:53 PM.](https://brendo.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-09-at-22.31.18.png) ![troy: *a screencap from The Simpsons containing a badge or desk plaque with the name "MAX POWER" printed on it* troy: "LOL" brendo: "oh my god YES" brendo: "PWNED MAX POWER BABY" brendo: "reserved for only the highest paying procurement departments"](https://brendo.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-10-at-12.26.19-1000x1024.png) And then some more sane ideas: ![brendo, at midnight Jul 18th 2023: "so as my brain continues to fail to wind down for sleep, a few names come to mind… hopefully they’re sane enough: - Pwned Basic - Pwned Pro - Pwned Ultra - Pwned Enterprise" troy, at a more sane hour that morning (10:22am): "Possibly, main issues with that is we already have an “Enterprise” line, plus you’re kinda limited in terms of adding more (unless you have like “Mega”…)" brendo, at 12:50pm: "Pwned Megacorp"](https://brendo.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-10-at-12.29.20-1024x772.png) In the end Troy (understandably) opted not to be sued. ![](https://brendo.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Screenshot-2023-10-09-at-22.38.25-1024x59.png) And I'm only recalling this now. Over two months since that previously mentioned blog post went live. Maybe I should half pay attention when discussion is had about ideas more often... :D --- ## Navigation - Previous: [Ghost CMS: My thoughts.](https://brendo.org/wp-content/uploads/wp2grav-exports/user-20240927/pages/ghost-cms-my-thoughts.md) - Next: [I did this to myself](https://brendo.org/wp-content/uploads/wp2grav-exports/user-20240927/pages/i-did-this-to-myself.md)
