GATEWAY TO NET TEN -- Mark Lottor
|
|
|
|
[Original words and music by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant]
|
|
|
|
There's a hacker who's sure all that's coax is fast
|
|
and he's buying a gateway to net ten.
|
|
When he gets it he'll know if the ports are all closed
|
|
with a SYN he can get what he sent for.
|
|
|
|
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
|
|
and he's buying a gateway to net ten.
|
|
|
|
There's an RFC on the wall but he wants to be sure
|
|
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
|
|
In a note on the page there's a warning that says
|
|
sometimes all of our code is broken.
|
|
|
|
Don't ya know, it makes me wonder.
|
|
|
|
There's an error I get when I send to the net
|
|
and my packets are lost and retransmitting.
|
|
In my logs I have seen loops of mail thru the machine,
|
|
and the screams of those who are hacking.
|
|
|
|
Oooh, it makes me wonder.
|
|
|
|
And it's whispered that soon if we all fix and tune
|
|
then the packets will reach their destinations.
|
|
And a new day will dawn for hosts that stay long
|
|
and the telnets will echo quite faster.
|
|
|
|
Ohhhhh, it makes me wonder.
|
|
|
|
If there's a bustle in your cisco, don't be alarmed now
|
|
it's just a quick ping for the NIC machine.
|
|
Yes there are two paths you can route by, but in the long haul
|
|
there's still time to change the protocol.
|
|
|
|
Yowwww, it makes me wonder.
|
|
|
|
Your host is loaded and it will slow in case you don't know,
|
|
the unix's are asking you to join them.
|
|
Dear hacker, do you see the overflow, and did you know
|
|
your gateway is still under development.
|
|
|
|
And as we wind out more coax, and gateways slower than our hosts,
|
|
There goes a message we all know, it updates routes and wants to show
|
|
how everything still turns quite slow.
|
|
And if you listen very hard, the bits will come to you at last.
|
|
When all are ones and ones are all, to be a rubout and not a null.
|
|
|
|
And he's buying a gateway to net ten...
