My friends and I had a joke called NSABox. It would send data around using words that would attract the attention of the NSA, and you could submit a FOIA request to recover the data. I always found it amusing.

There's a feature in Emacs that does that (unsurprisingly.)
It's called `M-x spook'. It inserts random gibberish that NSA and the Echelon project would've supposedly picked up back in the 90s.
spook.el was "introduced at or before Emacs version 18.52". And 18.52 was released in 1988. And spook.el in a comment says
So the things that the NSA and ECHELON would have picked up on back in the 1980s, not the 1990s :)
I've heard of the loic ion cannon dos tool described as a shortcut to getting sent to jail. This sounds similar.
Big difference. LOIC actually impacts a target.
