Check the name of your driver in reverse

Don’t name your driver a “Missile” blog post dealt with funny names seen in crash dumps. However, even innocuous driver names may occasionally provoke a laughter from people in the know. For example, SGUB32.SYS can be read 23BUGS in reverse. My recent encounter is a print driver SGNUD64.dll where we read 46DUNGS in reverse. Don’t rush to Google the name to find ISV, it was modified to avoid an engineering embarrassment, although a dung was really there :-)
