I never called my attack a 0-day, did I?

Turns out I have never seen anybody call an 'oracle attack' 'user
enumeration'.

Probably because the attack won't give you the whole list of usernames
but instead tell you which e-mails (not necessarily being an username)
on your list are on its list. Also turns out the concept of oracle has
been in use on the computation world way before you think and before the
OWASP guys arbitrarily decided such a name in, amongst others, the
complexity theorems that keep the cryptography used nowadays secure, so,
please, stop acting childishly over something as stupid as the name of
the attack and concentrate instead on the exposed issue.
