Intro |
I don't actually approve of crashing systems on the net.... Tektronix and Fluke are manufacturers of electronic test equipment, including protocol/network analysers. You can replace 'Cambridge' with 'Token' if you prefer. |
Hacking Iron
Society frowns on blowing one's own trumpet
But we've found a game that merits no rebuke
If that's the password file we're going to dump it
It's more fun with a Tektronix or a Fluke
The object is to login as your neighbour
"I've got system privs" is the acid test
So flip the sense switch one up
And watch those DECpacks run up
And hack our mainframe systems with the best
Looking round the worldwide network
Searching through the system cache
Bigger, faster, newer, smarter
See the networked systems crash
My dial-in port's ex-directory should you wish to make a call
Mine is even more exclusive (More exclusive?)
I won't have dial-in at all
(spoken)
You can always e-mail me - net.god@uk
(lines now alternated)
I've a packet radio network, though it can't receive a thing
I've my own direct connection, straight into the Cambridge Ring
I've a disk pack, arrives daily, with the next software update
All my software comes via IR (via what??)
To my H - P - forty - eight
I believe my home computer runs full Unix system five
I lost 20 gigs of software when I crashed my hard disk drive
I've been asked to build a handheld, complete with network IO
I've been asked to rebuild Unix - for security you know
My local network login site runs R S X version 3
All my net backdoors fly open when I enter 'Sesame'
Your task privs are 'user, user', My task privs are 'root, root, root'
I've just bought an net monitor (Bought a what?)
(An net monitor) Oh yes, I run one when I boot
Looking round the worldwide network
Searching through the system cache
Bigger, faster, newer, smarter
See the networked systems crash
DEC has just been taken over, we got in without a pause
We've acquired an Alpha system, bigger, faster, far than yours
