This is all very cool but I'm a bit confused about
what it actually
is? Is it a hacking themed game? Is it just a cool toy to play with
computers as they were back in the day? What OS is it supposed to be
running (the starting host seems to be a sort of hybrid of TOPS-10,
Unix and VM/CMS)? Who even put it together? So many questions, so few
answers...
It works as a hacking themed game. I don't know if that was their
intent, but it seems like it to me.
I did figure out a way that they might be getting their passwd files.
It looks sort of like they are scraping postings from the usenet
archives, and putting together login names with systems from
back in the day.
