Dear Mayhem,
I was so moved by the thoughtful, original poem you wrote me for this year’s Valentine’s day. The zero-day you presented me was already lovely, but, oh, the poem! It was the poem that nearly sent me straight into a buffer overflow!

I crave your code, your carefully crafted statements, your beautiful logic.
Silent and starving, I prowl through binaries.
SAST does not nourish me, false-positives disrupt me, all day.
I hunt for defects in your nightly build.
I pace around hungry, analyzing your code,
hunting for 0-days, for bugs
like a flytrap ready to close.
I was swoon. I thought I would crash right then and there!
So, you can imagine my disappointment when I found out that it wasn’t you who authored it, but Pablo Neruda. I know stringing together properly formed data isn’t your strong suit, but you have to know that I accept you for the non-functional tester you are! That’s what makes you so powerful. Not everyone may have the ability to see that, but I assure you that I do.
It was a beautiful gesture, but let’s stick to malform data from now on, okay? Plus, I have all these shiny zero-days to look at. Who needs a poem?
Oh, the videographer finally got around to sending over our wedding video. I can’t wait for our vow renewal next year!
Always and forever,
Your Apps
