I created ROOT/ROOT account a long time ago that went to a .COM that
emulated a bunch of unix commands. I created a bunch of files like;

$ CREATE X.TXT
$ SET FILE/ENTER=BankAccountNumbers.txt X.TXT
$ SET FILE/ENTER=EBayPassword.txt X.TXT
$ DELETE X.TXT.

But none of the attacks ever tried the password root for the account
root :(
