You can telnet to it too.
I thought it would be funny to telnet from my TOPS-20 instance to there and back, but It
doesn't seem to let you telnet out to the real internet.

OK...it's awesome. Now *what* is it? Is it a restore of an early
UNIX system? Some familiar commands work; many do not.
The area code database in the wardial program told me it was mid-80s
(based on which Chicago-area NPAs were listed.) Looking at the usenet
program, which contains actual old posts (!) confirms this.

sort. I typed "quest",
and it suggested I break into a system a couple of
hops away, then
read a file there for further instructions. I assume a series of quests is
how one gets DEMIGOD instead of USER after their names :-).

OK, this just went way beyond the pale.
One of the systems in the simulated network is
"littlei", which was a news and mail server back
in the day, run by Intel Corporation.
I just managed to hack my way into simulated
littlei, and did "cat /etc/passwd".
And damned if that isn't something very like the
actual passwd file of littlei. All of the standard
XENIX accounts are there. My account and
several of my co-workers accounts are there.
Along with their real names and encrypted
passwords (which I haven't yet checked for
accuracy).
How the hell did they get that!?

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.

Well, get to cracking. The other day a client asked me to recover the
passwords from a 90s-era AIX machine. In less than twenty minutes,
a cracking tool had recovered all fourteen account passwords.
The first thirteen appeared almost immediately; the last took a while.
