Ok, so: I found a lot of hits for “Alec Muffett” (sic) in my referrer logs, and in investigating why anyone from morgannwg.ac.uk or CUNY would be interested in me, discovered this gem – translated by Google from the Brazilian Portugese:
[www.revistadolinux.com.br]The envolvement with the Linux started in 90, when it studied in the University of Aberystwyth, in the Country of Wales. In contrast of the majority of the universities, that restricted the access to the computers, any one could have an account in the ULTRIX that twirled in platform DEC of the school. Telsa did not like this papo of computer until a friend took it to the room of terminals and he taught it if to connect with computers of other British universities saw InterNet and to play the console games with accounts type guest. “From the moment where I started to find other people on-line, I was made an impression. I vitiated “, counts Telsa. Another interesting history: when Telsa was registering in cadastre its password in the ULTRIX, the administrator of the system, Alec Muffett, observed the sequence of characters and cried out “Not! I will choose a better password “. Years later, Alec Muffett reached notoriety when it launched Crack, a software for systems Unix that breaks security of passwords.
…which is near enough the mark that I forgive the slight inaccuracies in exchange for the giggle-value…
