FAA security

So the FAA came out with some statements about the security of their networks, that Martin McKeay covered nicely on his blog
So that brings me today's Security Song Parody

Securing All Jet Planes
(to the tune of Leaving On A Jet Plane by John Denver and Kenneth Browder)

All my bags are hacked I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake on LAN to say good-bye
But the code is breaking, its early morn
The taxis waiting, hes spamming my phone
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kismet and smile for me
Tell me that you'll snort for me
P0wn me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm protecting all jet planes
I don't know what wifi'll be letting through
Oh babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times Ive hacked around
I tell you now, they don't know a thing
Every place I go I'll blame Lou
Every packet I sniff I sniff for you
When I come back I'll secure token ring

So kismet and smile for me
Tell me that you'll snort for me
P0wn me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm protecting all jet planes
I don't know what wifi'll be letting through
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kismet here
And close your eyes and I'll hide the way
Dream about the hacks to come
Then I don't have to protect alone
About the times that I won't have to say

So kismet and smile for me
Tell me that you'll snort for me
P0wn me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm protecting all jet planes
I don't know what wifi'll be letting through
Oh babe, I hate to go

Cause I'm protecting all jet planes
I don't know what wifi'll be letting through
Oh babe, I hate to go

Cause I'm protecting all jet planes
I don't know what wifi'll be letting through
Oh babe, I hate to go
I'm protecting all jet planes
protecting all jet planes
protecting all jet planes
protecting all jet planes

Have a great day
Be safe out there

Six word security challenge

My latest post on the Security Catalyst blog is a challenge to you dear reader to write a 6 word sentence that tells a story about security or relates a security lesson.
So like last week with Andy IT Guy, I have reworked a song to use as a theme song

Security Is Just Six Words Long
(to the tune of Weird Al Yankovic's - This Song Is Just 6 Words Long)

Security can be just 6 words long
Security can be just 6 words long
Security can be just 6 words long
Security can be just 6 words long

Dont think of any more words
So I just wrote six words
So I'll just write any six words
That come to my mind, child

You really need words
Could be just six rhymin words
You gotta write so many words
Hmm mmm
Ta do it, ta do it, ta do it, ta do it, ta do it, ta do it right, child

Security can be just 6 words long
Security can be just 6 words long
Security can be just 6 words long
Security can be just 6 words long

I know that your probably sore
Cuz I didnt write any more
It's just six to complete it
So thats why I gotta repeat it

Security can be just 6 words long (6 words long)
Security can be just 6 words long (6 words long)

Oh I make a lotta money
They pay me a ton o' money
They're payin me plenty o' money
To write these six words, child

I gotta fill time
3 minutes worth of time
Oh how will I fill so much time?
Hmm mmm
I'll throw in a solo, a solo, a solo, a solo, a solo here

(saxaphone and drum solo)

Security can be just 6 words long
Security can be just 6 words long
Security can be just 6 words long
Security can be just 6 words long

These words got somethin' to say
So Im typing it up today
I know if I put my mind to it
I know I could find a good rhym here

Oh ya gotta have a security
Ya need really catchy security
This song has got plenty o' security
But just 6 words, child

And so I'll sing em over
and over and over and over
and over and over and over
Hmm mmm
and over
and over
and over
and over
and over
and over again

6 words long
6 words long
6 words long
6 words long (fading)
6 words long (fading)
6 words long (fading)
6 words long

Hope you enjoyed.
Now, be safe out there.

Skeet Security

Andy Willingham wrote a very good post over at his blog which inspired me to rewrite the lyrics to that classic Nick Rivers' song Skeet Surfing

Skeet Security
Skeet Security
If everybody had a 12-gauge
And a motherboard too
You'd see 'em shootin' and hackin'
From here to Malibu
Because it's totally bitchin'
Ridin' the net to blast the pigeons
And it's so neat shootin' skeets
While you're coding out the heavies all day

First site, don't get tired
Second site, aim higher
Third site, pull and fire
Skeet Security, it's alright

We're loadin' up our motherboards
And loadin' up our traps
Tell the crackers we're shootin'
We're never coming back
I've got a gun rack in my Chevy
For when the SPAM and the flak get heavy
And we'll have fun with our guns
'Till our moderators takes our ammo away

First site, don't get tired
Second site, aim higher
Third site, pull and fire
Skeet Security, it's alright

First site, get the knack
Second site, pull the trap
Third site, how's that?
Skeet Security, it's alright

Sharing sunsets with my favorite girl
When we write the perl, we really write the perl

First site, don't get tired
Second site, aim higher
Third site, pull and fire
Skeet Security, it's alright

First site, get the knack
Second site, pull that trap
Third site, how's that?

I wish they all could be double-barrelled
Wish they all could be double-barrelled guns

Skeet Security can't you see?
Do you wanna come along with me?
Skeet Security can't you see?
Do you wanna come along with me?
Skeet Security it's alright
Little girl we'll have fun tonight
Skeet Security can't you see?
Do you wanna come with me?
Grab your laptop, surf into the breach
Skeet Security it's a lot of fun

Now go read Andy's post and go watch Top Secret again (or for the first time)
