Sure, why not? Also you guys are looking for this in the wrong vein, ie.
a hacker who stumbles on the debug output. What about the guy who is
looking for it? Ie. the guy that talked the sysadmin sap into turning
debugging on, then did a DOS attack on the sysadmin's console machine,
then telnetted in 4x, voila. Hell, he'd pipe all that telnet output
straight to his homebrew ppp-decoder-ring, or maybe like MZ says he can
read HEX natively. (probably less difficult than learning -say- morse
code for each letter)
