Brought you with Holiday spirit and peppermint schnaps.

[Adrian Crenshaw <irongeek () irongeek com>]

We three PINGs of ICMP
Bearing diagnosics we figure it out
Fields and flags, type and code
Following yonder route

O packet of wonder, packet of most
Packet shown with LED toast
BGP leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect host!

Born of ARPA on Vint Cerf's plan
If packet's are lost we send them
again PING forever, ceasing never
All to test my WAN

O packet of wonder, packet of most
Packet shown with LED toast
BGP leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect host!

RFC Options to offer have I
Time to Live and data are nigh
Parsing and passing, routing and dropping
With TTL exceeded I sigh.

O packet of wonder, packet of most
Packet shown with LED toast
BGP leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect host!

With some packets your footprint I find
Come some Metasploit with exploits unkind
Wailing, BASHing, servers are crashing
All of your data is Mine!

O packet of wonder, packet of most
Packet shown with LED toast
BGP leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect host!


Love,
Adrian
