Reapers Halloween Challenge!

[reaper]

As we're nearing the end of spooktober, All Hallows Eve is upon us, time for a fun challenge!

It's becoming a yearly tradition that I challenge everyone to show off their skills in all kind of different challenges, and this year we're going to try and dabble in a bit of Japanese poetry

...

A Haiku-off!

The Challenge is simple: compose a haiku that is both scary and somewhat related to our field (security/networking/general IT or good old helldesk stories)

The composition of a haiku is usually 3 lines with the first line being 5 syllables, second line being 7 and the third 5, so 17 syllables in total.

ie:

I like my firewall (5)

It stops bad men in their tracks (7)

Then i take their soul (5)

I'm not going to be a stick in the mud and enforce strict rules, so if you are able to make something haiku-like with a few more or less syllables, that will do just fine (we're here to have fun, after all ;) )

As per the usual, we (the Live Community team) will be hand-picking a few lucky people to win some loot and gain eternal glory in the hall of fame of the Live community! so get your thinking skull-masks out and sit in a dark crevace while you write poetry most evil

My scythe is worn out

Many blogs by my hand cast

Now its time for fun

Without Our Networks to Hack
The Hackers wouldn't have anything to hack
But Palo Alto Helps protect

[dickes]

When threats lurk all around

Our savior comes to root out evil

Palo Alto conquers Internet Demons

[TLineberry]

Ghoulish traffic tries

But quickly stops and it dies!

Palo’s there ‘fore it cries

[johnsonto]

I seek and destroy

In the land of trust no one

With my trusty PA

[vsys_remo]

Forti and cisco stand still

Scared to death by fancy bear

Palo fights till the end

[AlexZu]

seeking 0-day threats
wildfire burns an evil red

[Rajesh12]

Cunning fox planned to escape
Hidden in the pouch of trusty Kangaroo
But caught by nextgen Chimpanzee

[ebrookman]

It's not the darn firewall.

I can guarantee it's not the firewall.

See, I told you so!

[gwesson]

Zombies come for me

My HA-1 link is down

Oh no, a split brain

[devora]

I wrote all the rules
oh no forgot to commit
Now I work weekend

A true horror story

Internet cannot be reached

Someone pulled the cable

One scary story

Boss said our firewall is down

We don't own a firewall
