[Techie] Sniff It

A Network Engineering Theme Song
(Sung to the tune of Devo's "Whip It")

ACK that SYN
Close it with a FIN
Wait for the ACK
Pass it up the stack
When a problem comes along
You must sniff it
If the TTL's too long
You must sniff it
When CRC's are wrong
You must sniff it

Now sniff it
Get the trace
Open up
TAC Case
Bad packets
CRC's
Try to detect it
Anomalies
So sniff it
Sniff it good

When connections all go down
You must sniff it
Asymmetric routes around
Unless you sniff it
Packets go away
Until you sniff it

I say sniff it
Sniff it good
I say sniff it
Sniff it good

ACK that SYN
ASCII, HEX or BIN
Filter the MAC
Check for DoS attack
When a problem comes along
You must sniff it
If the TTL's too long
You must sniff it
When CRC's are wrong
You must sniff it

Now sniff it
Search/Replace
Hex to Bin
Back space
Bad packets
CRC's
Try to detect it
Anomalies
So sniff it
Get the trace
Open up
TAC Case
Bad packets
CRC's
Try to detect it
Anomalies
So sniff it
Sniff it good
