I once had an IP address connected to an SGI Irix machine (v 6.5!) pass a security audit because the tool automatically scanning it couldn't identify what the hell it was, why none of the standard SSH key exchange algorithms were accepted, and concluded it was likely a honeypot automatically.

Those kinds of boxes I always ask for permission to poke at a little more and see what they really can be cracked with. Its good fun poking old shit on the network and seeing how it falls over!
Which is doubly funny because if I remember correctly irix was not all that secure out of the box. SGI highly recommended you run it behind a firewall. it was very chatty and ran a lot of services.
