A 39-year-old password of Ken Thompson, the co-creator of the UNIX operating system among, has finally been cracked that belongs to a BSD-based system, one of the original versions of UNIX, which was back then used by various computer science pioneers.

I still remember my Unix books by then, specially my C Programming, authored by pioneers, Ritchie and Kernigan.

Just bring back my memories when I was studying Computer Science back then. And just by looking at the pioneers password, its not that complicated because obviously, no hackers around but it's good to hear that they have preserved it somewhere  ;D.
