I wonder what's up with all the super long entries in there. Bugs in the bots?

I'd guess that they're unique passwords taken from plain text password dumps that ended up in dictionaries.

It looks like ever wrote the scanner (that hit this honeypot) thought it would be a great idea to count on instances where terminal becomes laggy/crashes during a password change.

Adminstrator would then set a new password by an accident.

My theory anyways.
