Rainmaker is a collection and network survey tool developed by CIA that is disguised as a music player on a USB. The documentation page for the project includes an animated GIF from a video for Fat Joe's "Make it Rain" (with President Barack Obama's head edited in).
One developer shared his dream list of new project names, based on "mostly oblique references to things I like, tvtropes names that amuse me and situations or phrases at work encoded in toolname-esque obscurity":
Mendicant Engineer – reserved for the next tool delivered during a gov't shutdown.
Starving Weasel – reference to the Weird Al song Albuquerque; "Hey, you've got weasels on your face"
Face Hugger – Aliens
Eldritch Abomination – tvtropes
Xanatos Gambit – tvtropes
Deadpan Snarker – tvtropes
Combat Pragmatist – tvtropes
Awesome McToolname – tvtropes
Chekhovs Gun – tvtropes
Humongous Mecha – tvtropes
Literal Genie – tvtropes
Monster Clown – tvtropes
Confused Undertaking
Discharge Tempest
Agonizing Neuralgia
Chronic Arthralgia
And of course there are the usual workplace shenanigans. The CIA's Engineering Development Group piloted the use of a number of commercial tools for managing development in 2013, and adopted Atlassian's Confluence for project documentation. That also meant giving every developer who used the system a home page. Some developers never added content to their personal pages, but one decided to hunt down those who left editing rights open on their "home page" and deface them with images—including animated GIFs from the anime series Trigun.
