That reminds me of a red-green exercise here in Sweden. I wasn't personally
part of it but friends who were tell me that one of the honeypot SSH
boxes were
setup to (when breached) display an ascii-art version of the pictrure

90s trolling site "goatsex" with the legend "Some pictures cannot be
unseen".
