Slammer can refer to:
SQL Slammer is a computer worm that caused a denial of service on some Internet hosts and dramatically slowed down general Internet traffic, starting at 05:30 UTC on January 25, 2003. It spread rapidly, infecting most of its 75,000 victims within ten minutes. So named by Christopher J. Rouland, the CTO of ISS, Slammer was first brought to the attention of the public by Michael Bacarella (see notes below). Although titled "SQL slammer worm", the program did not use the SQL language; it exploited a buffer overflow bug in Microsoft's flagship SQL Server and Desktop Engine database products, for which a patch had been released six months earlier in MS02-039. Other names include W32.SQLExp.Worm, DDOS.SQLP1434.A, the Sapphire Worm, SQL_HEL, W32/SQLSlammer and Helkern.
The worm was based on proof of concept code demonstrated at the Black Hat Briefings by David Litchfield, who had initially discovered the buffer overflow vulnerability that the worm exploited. It is a small piece of code that does little other than generate random IP addresses and send itself out to those addresses. If a selected address happens to belong to a host that is running an unpatched copy of Microsoft SQL Server Resolution Service listening on UDP port 1434, the host immediately becomes infected and begins spraying the Internet with more copies of the worm program.
Metroplex (known as Scramble City while transformed) is a giant Autobot in the Transformers franchise. He is depicted as massive compared to other Autobots, dwarfing even the largest Combiners and the giant Omega Supreme, and was originally portrayed as the living embodiment of Autobot City. He has appeared in supporting roles in numerous works of Transformers franchises, and was the focus of his own OVA and toy line, both titled Transformers: Scramble City. He is the rival and parallel of the Decepticon's transforming base, Trypticon.
Metroplex is capable of transforming into a battle station or a giant robot. Metroplex has three smaller autonomous components: Six-Gun: an Autobot who is formed from six of the battle station's guns combining with one of the city's towers, Scamper: an Autobot who transforms into a car, and Slammer: a tank which transforms into another of the city's skyscrapers.
Metroplex is considered the Autobots' last line of defense. He spends most of his time in city mode but has the ability to transform into a battle station or a colossal robot depending on the situation. He has been called upon to fight Trypticon on a few different occasions, often using full-body wrestling tactics rather than depending on firepower.
Guarded, despised, backs to the wall, robbed of the
chance we deserve
Told that we're lucky to be here at all, our only role
is to serve
Prisoners from birth, we're denied evry right, to a
free life of our own
Non-one can stop us, we'll stand up and fight, lords of
the Tenement Zone
Kickin'an'screamin' I came to this life
I had to fight just to survive
Live by your wits or die by the knife
In the back room of an alleyway dive
Smell of freedom in the air chaos rages everywhere
See the victims running scared fighting for their
lives, yeah
We've exposed the lives you lied now it's us that turns
the tide
We no longer have to hide breakout to the other side
Guard dogs, guns, electrified wire, cameras watch my
every move
Zombie-like faces watch me from the tower, guilty with
no need of proof
I'll find a way out I'll go it alone, not gonna fall
for their lies
No-one can stop me from making my run, crush anybody
who tries
Solo: Milo
Nothing for nothing an' no-one goes free
Dog eat dog everyone for themselves
Live with the fact that we're too blind to see
There's no escape from this dangerous hell
Smell of freedom in the air chaos rages everywhere
See the victims running scared fighting for their
lives, yeah
We've exposed the lives you lied now it's us that turns
the tide
