It was amusing enough when I saw that someone tried to log onto this webserver as a user named “fluffy.” Imagine the laugh I got out of seeing one industrious little hacker try the following names (among a few hundred others) to get onto Washuu, however:

darkman (man, just don’t watch the sequel. what a stinker.)
romeo (tragic shakespearean characters are gother than thou.)
quake (with fear?)
ping (naughty, naughty PS2 accessory!)
pong (yes, go ahead and hack into my uber-l33t networked table-tennis game.)
taz (taking time out from trying to eat bugs bunny, apparently.)
kimi (that’s a very pretty name.)
reebok (running shoes…)
nike (…are sensible…)
adidas (…username selections? in what alternate universe?)
die (another day.)
jem (do kimber and stormer know what you’re really doing on the internet?)
jaime (the co-worker I’d least suspect.)
callhome (why? did I leave the oven on again?)
notorious (underrated duran duran album, can’t find it anywhere, dammit.)
toto (never liked that “africa” song very much, but the “dune” soundtrack is pretty cool.)
alexandru (my daughter will find this amusing. or disturbing. something like that.)
banana (come mr. hackerman, hack on my banana…)
bootcamp (yeah, that’s where you camp the boot sector and frag the operating system as it loads.)
coupon (a word I now cannot help but pronounce as “koo-pun.” damn you, comedy central.)
phoebe (the sitcom character I’d least suspect.)
dummy (no comment.)
stud (again.)
hacker (finally, truth in advertising.)
sexy (something that the person trying to hack my servers most assuredly is not.)

Okay, that’s about enough of that. I think I’ve fixed Washuu’s “swatch” setup so from now on I won’t get a massive list of illegal usernames on Monday morning…
