I am the very model of a hacker individual,
I’ve information cryptographic, analog and digital,
I know every cypherpunk, adhere to Kerckhoff’s principle,
I bounce from node to node so I can make myself invisible.
I’m very well acquainted, too, with server vulnerability,
I escalate my privilege and I trash availability,
I know the latest breaches and I know first when the ‘net’s ablaze,
Nets ablaze nets ablaze…
With many cheerful facts about developments in zero days.
You hired a consultant who says industry needs "four point O"
Well that was a big mistake
and now because of me you know
I'll hack your company so bad you'll lose your golden parachute
and though I'm proud I will not brag
my hacks are hard to attribute
I can open any doors with tumblers or RFID
I've got root and have the keys to all your cryptocurrency
I can sing your servers dead by reaching a high decibel
No matter where I log in from, I’m guaranteed to pop a shell
I know our hacker history from Ada to the Admiral,
If I ever leave a trace at most it is ephemeral,
If you like flights that go to space thank Johnson, Vaughan and Jackson too,
Jerry Lawson for the console that plays games, yes more than two!
What are you even doing if your team is all cis not trans
And who wired up these tubes? That would be our furry friends.
In short, in matters cryptographic, analog and digital,
there’s more than just one way to be a hacker individual.
I’m curious how you’d do this, since I changed it after singing it with the sheet music in front of me. It has more verses to accommodate the diversity in STEM section.
