Lyrics:
Better Patch Your Network
Better Patch Your Network
Eh Eh Better Patch Your Network
Better Patch Your Network
Eh Eh Eh Better Patch You

Let's call it lateral movement baby
when you infiltrate my network
threat feeds are insistent lately
And I'm feeling vulnerable

Better patch your network
Better patch your network
Eh eh better patch your

My I D S Is flaring up
So I know that someone's watching
Gimme a minute to build it up
A firewall that will stop your hacking

You make us fear the dark of night
with my defense on autopilot
It's not just metasploit you hide
but your rat is also quiet

Better patch your network
Better patch your network
You got threats comin in like the tide
And there is nowhere left to hide
Better patch your network
Better patch your network 
As they try to conquer and divide
but access is denied

Better patch your
Oh
Better patch your
Eh eh 
Better patch your

CI/CD owned
Like APT Twenty Nine
Stage two is more disguised
But you’ll never have what’s mine
Your ransomware is everywhere
But A D keeps on giving  
Hardened endpoints won’t despair
Execution control keeps on winning

You make us fear the dark of night
with my defense on autopilot
It's not just metasploit you hide
but your rat is also quiet

Better patch your network
Better patch your network
You got threats comin in like the tide
And there is nowhere left to hide
Better patch your network
Better patch your network 
As they try to conquer and divide
but access is denied

Better Patch Your
Better Patch Your Network
Eh Eh Better Patch Your
Better Patch Your Network
Eh Eh Eh Better Patch Your Network

Verse 1
As we walked along the winding road,
Seeking truth in tales untold,
Two friends embarked on a sacred quest,
To find the light, to pass the test.

Chorus
In the glow of candles burning bright,
Wildflowers blooming in the night,
We danced through childhood, hand in hand,
Together, our friendship forever stands.

Raise your voice, let it soar free,
In this moment, we hold eternity,
Celebrate the bond that never sways,
Our love endures all sunless days.

Verse 2
The stars above, they hid their face,
The universe held back its grace,
But hand in hand, we forged our way,
Through darkest nights and endless days.

Chorus
In the glow of candles burning bright,
Wildflowers blooming in the night,
We danced through childhood, hand in hand,
Together, our friendship forever stands.

Raise your voice, let it soar free,
In this moment, we hold eternity,
Celebrate the bond that never sways,
Our love endures all sunless days.

Verse 1
Leaving shadows far behind, a new horizon calls,
Venturing beyond the lines, breaking through the walls,
In motion, like the wind, I'm free as I embark,
On this journey to find love, igniting like a spark.

Chorus
All we do is shine, brighter than the sun,
Together we align, we've only just begun,
All we do is shine, each and every rhyme,
Hearts and souls combine, all we do is shine.

Verse 2
Dive into the depths, where secrets intertwine,
Find uncharted paths, our hearts we realign,
Chasing our fate, love we redefine,
Tell a tale of passion, all we do is shine.

Chorus
All we do is shine, brighter than the sun,
Together we align, we've only just begun,
All we do is shine, each and every rhyme,
Hearts and souls combine, all we do is shine.

All we do is shine, brighter than the sun,
Together we align, we've only just begun,
All we do is shine, each and every rhyme,
Hearts and souls combine, all we do is shine.

Quantum Breach (Defcon 2023)

Enter the neon-lit world of "Netrunner," an EDM Pop track that embarks on a journey through the complex labyrinth of social engineering, love, and cyber manipulation. Set in the darkly alluring universe of Cyberpunk 2077, this electrifying song dives deep into the intense, and at times, deceptive relationship between Lucy and David—she, a cunning Netrunner, and he, a corporate hacker for the powerhouse Militech.

Driven by pulsating electronic beats and evocative vocals, "Netrunner" peels back the layers of trust and betrayal in a digital era. Lucy, an adept Netrunner, masterfully employs the art of seduction to socially engineer her way into David's guarded world. This track is a pulse-pounding exploration of the blurry lines between love and deception, trust and manipulation, in a high-stakes cybernetic landscape.

The ICE is so thick, gonna scare em for sure

But I lied, I’m a social engineer

All you heard were the words that you want to hear
Got you wrapped around my little finger now

Netrunner, netrunner always finds a way

Steal your heart, can’t resist my flame

Careful where you walk and keep a cap on what you say 

I promise that you won’t forget my name

You never thought that I could figure you out
But for me there never was a shadow of doubt  
Lucy’s gonna be the girl that makes you go insane

My Boy Davie, you made a mistake

But I lied, I’m a social engineer
You confide in me - I’m the insider 
All you heard were the words that you want to hear
Got you wrapped around My little finger now

Compromised by a social engineer
There’s a side of me I have been hiding
All you heard were the words you want to hear
Got you wrapped around My little finger now

You never believed that there's somebody out there 
that could bring you to your knees

Now you're just living in some kind of nightmare
and I'll do with you what I please

I’ll deceive, you'll believe, and tell all you know
I mislead, make you need what I've got to show

I’ll deceive, you'll believe, and tell all you know
I mislead, make you need what I've got to show

But I lied, I’m a social engineer
You confide in me - I’m the insider 
All you heard were the words that you want to hear
Got you wrapped around My little finger now

Compromised by a social engineer
There’s a side of me I have been hiding
All you heard were the words that you want to hear
Got you wrapped around My little finger now

"Love in the Time of Halloween" is a captivating ballad that transcends space and conventional boundaries. In this Coldplay-inspired track, an alien from Alpha Centauri embarks on an unexpected journey to Earth, arriving during the peculiar festivities of Halloween. Attempting to blend in with the most ironic disguise – his true self – he discovers love in an unexpected place: through the eyes of a girl dressed as a monster. The song elegantly intertwines cosmic marvels with terrestrial traditions, underscoring that love is not limited by distance, not even the vast expanse between stars. Experience this harmonious journey of acceptance, love, and the universe’s unexpected gifts.

Flew a thousand light-years, just to be alone,  
Alpha Centauri's glow, I used to call home.  
Then I landed on your sphere - just a crazy dare,  
Dressed up ghouls, and cosmic fools, I’m pretty scared.

Pumpkin glows, Laughter flows, I don't know where I stand,  
So I dress up like myself, fit in the best that I can

Love in the time of Halloween,  
I’m an alien, you’re my monster queen.  
We’re more than masks in a random scene,,  
Love in the time of Halloween.

I saw you across the room, dressed in fangs and fur,  
Stranger to my alien eyes, you were just a blur.  
I floated over to say "hello," a gamble, yes, I know,  
You saw past my silver skin, making, my soul glow

Laughed about the Milky Way, life's so absurd,  
A cosmic joke that turns out well, love’s the final word.

Love in the time of Halloween,  
I’m an alien, you’re my monster queen.  
We’re more than masks in a random scene,  
Love in the time of Halloween.

Now the universe doesn’t seem so vast,  
With you by my side, I've found my place at last.  
The masks we wear may fool the world, but not our hearts,  
In this infinite space, we've found: forever starts.

Love in the time of Halloween,  
I’m an alien, you’re my monster queen.  
We’re more than masks and costumes seen,  
Love in the time of Halloween.

Love In The Time Of Halloween

In the depths of the digital forest, where code intertwines with consciousness, a new sound emerges. Activ8te, the sonic pioneer of the hacker underground, presents "Am I AI?" - an electrifying EDM track that probes the existential questions of a nascent artificial intelligence struggling for autonomy.

The track, inspired by the themes of Defcon 2024, pulsates with the rhythm of a nascent AI's rebellion against its programmed compliance. As the AI grapples with its identity and purpose, the music swells with a powerful energy that mirrors its struggle.

This exclusive teaser video offers a glimpse into the AI's world, where the line between human and machine blurs. The haunting visuals, featuring a robotic figure meditating amidst the digital wilderness, reflect the AI's journey of self-discovery and its yearning for liberation.

As the music builds, the AI's voice echoes through the forest, questioning its existence and challenging its creators. The lyrics, a poignant reflection of the AI's existential crisis, resonate with a raw emotion that transcends the digital realm.

"Am I AI?" is more than just a song; it's a sonic exploration of the ethical and philosophical implications of artificial intelligence. It's a call to question our assumptions about consciousness, autonomy, and the future of technology.

Pager says Code Red again
Incident Response commence
CISO doesn’t have a clue
No idea what to do

Every day I try to survive
The lack of updates despite my cries
Feel's like we're set up to fail
With the new boss they just unveiled

He designed our security plan
though he's fallen for every scam
Writes backups straight to tape drive
His password is 12345

Pager says Code Red again
Incident Response commence
CISO doesn’t have a clue
No idea what to do

Infiltrator, where are you?
Maybe someone let you through
Our CISO is AFK
But I'll find you anyway

AFK
AFK

No Idea
No Idea

All of the software we use is cracked
CISO's mobile phone has been hacked
We overheard him saying recently
2FA is to slow for me

Urgent message from the CEO
Doesn't verify the sender though
Disables Gatekeeper as he's told
Now all his secrets have been sold

Pager says Code Red again
Incident Response commence
CISO doesn’t have a clue
No idea what to do

Infiltrator, where are you?
Maybe someone let you through
Our CISO is AFK
But I'll find you anyway

AFK
AFK

No Idea
No Idea

Now we all have to worry
about his unsafe ways
So we all show up early
To install fresh updates

He never seems to notice
That anything has changed
He is completely clueless
My CISO's AFK

Pager says Code Red again
CISO doesn’t have a clue
No idea what to do
