I've got an incoming hacker attempting to FTP into our HP3000
"Empireclassic" machine.  Console display below:

8:55/#J3/79/FTP INVALID LOGON FOR: "PAUL" IP=61.232.2.46

Our net admin is guessing "Paul" is running a simple script
going through an alphabet of passwords.  Every so often
there is a pause.  He laughed and said, "Well he just switch
from the "A's" to the "B's".

Since Empireclassic just runs old text games, I just stand 
there looking at the console saying to myself, 

"C'mon Paul!  You can DO it!"
