    Are bots smart enough to press escape twice to enter the system?

    if you are talking about the MIRAI and variants being seen on ports 23 and 2323, the answer is no... even if they were, they would not know what to do once they got to the BBS interface...

    all the ones i've see hitting my frontdoor nodes are timing out on the mailer side and falling through to the user side... in other words, there is no mailer
    traffic or humans within the timeout period... none have "hit escape twice"... the only ones that do that are humans that are actually there and reading their
    terminals... that's out of an average 7000+ over 30 days of MIRAI and vairants being blocked... 100% of those have been blocked because of the text they send raw without care of any prompts being fed to them...
