The question was only answered correctly by a small few CompSci students. All the others were either really talented programmers, or people who hate CompSci.

If you a classic Amiga (3.9?) running on HECNET I want to know how so I can add my Amiga 4000 too :)
Eventually I'll try to get my Amiga 4000 on there but I'll start with a Powerbook G4 running Morphos - it's basically AmigaOS 3.1. The UUCP setup should be pretty close to a real Amiga.
There are very few people in the industry HERE who would even know
what "an nmap scan" is, much less how or why to run one.
Oh really? By now I thought even non-security people were using it for network analysis etc..
Basically for anyone who cares, nmap scan hosts in an IP range, tells you what ports are open and tries to fingerprint the software running the port.
I worked in that industry twenty years ago. It was bad then. In the
past few weeks I've had a lot of contact with it due to a new contract,
and much to my horror, I've found that it has become far, far worse.
Worse as in more corporate / boring or worse as in the attacks are just getting out of control?

Has anyone tries this? Running my Vaxstation non-stop reminds me how much noise these old drives make.
Has anyone tried SSD drives? Must be good for the PSU it terms of heat and current draw.
This set me off thinking. I have a CF to IDE adapter (40-pin + floppy power, not 44-pin) somewhere and a SCSIDE adapter. I wonder if I could Solid-State my VS4000/60 with a 2GB CF card :)

Yeah. UUHECNET got crazier once I got connected.
MOIRA!madeline!meaghan!b4 et al.
By summer 2014 I plan to have an AmigaOS (or compatible) node as well as a CBM 128 (real box, not emulated) connected as well.
Next we need SysV. If I weren't out of serial adapters I'd have that going.

Hmm, maybe in the US, but the guys I worked with who had SC and DV
(DV = highest security clearance issued by HM Gov) used to walk
around in shorts and sandals.
I'm talking about in the US.
One of our favourite hobbies was trying to shoot down a remote
controlled helicopter with an Airsoft AK47 whilst waiting for say an
nmap scan to finish.
But I got bored on penetration testing after a few years, especially
when it all became "Look for holes in this web app", so moved on..

Good point. I'm only good at getting actual work done. Certainly not by the book, too. That's why that comment was 90% joking.

That must be awful.
