What the fuck is a ‘fuck off contact page?’

While testing some new misp-modules, such as the OpenAPI interface, I discovered a strange behavior in Firefox when trying to reach TCP port 6666, which is the default port used by misp-modules.

While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #unix v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973

Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition

We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum
